How quick funding helped save hundreds of families from starvation
A total of 18,610 families have been affected by floods and river erosion in Bhuapur upazila. Among them, 680 families lost everything
Thousands of families in the char areas of Bangladesh have been stranded by flash floods this year. Arable farmlands have been swept beneath unprecedented water levels at the most opportune moment.
The flooding compounded the calamity caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing those who had lost their jobs to return to the secure agricultural life in the countryside. However, the inundated farmlands brought them no respite.
Many residents of char areas across the country received food and economic support following recent floods, but the recipients are now pleading for more aid as the amount was inadequate for the long term.
