Dhaka, July 12 -- year-old fisherman Mohammad Sumon Midya, the hardest battle is not making a living from the river. It is holding on to a place to call home.

The river has already claimed two of the islands where he once lived.

It swallowed his childhood homestead, the trees that shaded it and the memories tied to the land.

Yet one thing has survived every collapse of the riverbank: a modest wooden house that has travelled with his family from one disappearing island to another.
