Story

SOS - OVER 72% of SYLHET DIVISION IS UNDER WATER.

Bangladesh is a land of many rivers, and as a result it is very prone to flooding.

Flooding is a continuous issue in Bangladesh, Every  year about 26,000 square kilometres (10,000 sq mi) (around 18% of the country) is flooded, killing over 5,000 people and destroying more than seven million homes.

The current flooding is severe, it has killed many,  forcing majority to flee their homes and seeking safe shelter in schools and other communal buildings.  Some are still trapped with out food and safe water. 

The Surma River in Sylhet is flowing 70 centimeters above the danger level, according to the flood warning centre.

The floods have mainly affected Sylhet city and district and neighbouring Sunamganj and Moulvibazar districts. All three districts are located in the Sylhet division, one of the eight divisions of Bangladesh. Sylhet city is Bangladesh’s fourth-largest.

The first round of flooding took place May 10, 2022. The waters began to recede May 22. But a second round of flooding occurred June 16 and has made the situation dire.

The situation is also dire in neighbouring Sunamganj district. Almost all upazilas of the district as well as Sunamganj town are now flooded. Direct road communication has been cut off. More than 100,000 people have been affected by the floods in the district.

We are asking you to support the affected people by donating Survival Packs which will contain dry food, safe water and hygiene products. 

We will also be looking to procure boats to start rescue missions and deliver aid to the most affected areas. 

To donate a  survival pack it is £35.

To donate a dry food pack It is only £10.

Please donate generously.
