Bangladesh floods: Communities in Sylhet and Sunamganj have been deluged

Heavy monsoon rains over the past few days have led to rivers bursting their banks, cutting off around 2 million people in northeast Bangladesh. Many families are stranded and could run out of food within days.

When floods strike, vulnerable children, women, men, and elders are cut off from life-saving medicine, vital communication, and transport. Thousands of toilets and tube wells have already been destroyed, and without adequate sanitation and shelter, many are even more vulnerable to the spread of disease.

Without vital aid and intervention, so many will continue to suffer beyond the crisis. Hundreds of educational institutions have either been closed, or submerged by the devastating floods the future of education for so many is now at risk or gone completely.

Whats more, the looming of an ongoing global hunger crisis which has already engulfed parts of the world threatens to worsen the unfolding situation in Bangladesh. The department of Agricultural Extensions district office confirms that the rising water levels have destroyed tens of thousands of hectares of seedbeds and summer vegetables.
