After a devastating flood in early June that affected around 4 million residents, the same area was hit again with record-breaking rainfall that began on June 15. Most of the Sylhet city has gone underwater again, with water continuing to rise, worsening the condition of those still living in temporary shelters and further exposed to extreme weather and waterborne diseases.
The flood has affected nearly 7 million people throughout Bangladesh-worst-flood-hit areas. Most of the affected communities are already living in poor conditions.
The Bangladesh Government continues to mobilize resources to support the affected communities, such as basic food, water purification tablets, and cash grants. However, further support from charitable organizations and development partners is still desperately needed. Due to the power outage and the shortage of safe drinking water, many city-dwellers are buying bottled water at increased prices. The need for rescue and relief intensifies as days pass in the flood-affected areas. Many parts remain unreachable due to floodwaters and the shortages of vessels. A coordinated humanitarian response will greatly complement Government’s efforts to ensure that the most vulnerable communities receive targeted humanitarian assistance.
The most urgent needs for the affected communities are:
Medium-term needs will include a recovery and reconstruction effort to repair the damaged infrastructure (river embankments, dykes, houses, safe drinking water sources, sanitation facilities, etc.) for restoration of livelihoods and rehabilitation of agricultural land.
AOSED is gearing up to support the most flood-affected population in selected Upazilas of Sylhet and Sunamgonj district by providing emergency food and hygiene kits (toilet and laundry soaps, sanitary napkins, oral saline, and water purifying tablets) to 1300 selected households. AOSED will also collaborate with fellow NGOs and voluntary organizations while assisting in the flood-affected areas.
BEDS (Bangladesh Environment and Development Society) is an NGO that is committed to conserving ecological balance and creating harmony between humans and nature.
