DHAKA, 27 May 2022, (TON): According to a recent report by Needs Assessment Working Group “more than 418,000 people in five districts of Bangladesh have been affected by flash floods.”
It said “the worst affected are those living in the low-lying areas of Sylhet and Sunamganj.”
The flood situation has created an acute crisis of pure water, sanitation, food, shelter and healthcare among the affected population, while also damaging the livelihoods of many.
Several areas have been left without power for days over the past weeks, and roads and communication have been disrupted due to floodwater.
Though floodwater has started to recede in many areas, new challenges have emerged with the risk of a waterborne disease outbreak among the affected population, in the aftermath of the floods.
