Bangladesh faces flood disasters every year due to the impact of the monsoon season, but this year's events have reached historic records. Intense rainfall has virtually halted life in many areas, especially in the capital city of Dhaka.
According to recent data, the number of people forced to leave their homes due to the floods has reached hundreds of thousands. Many of the affected sought refuge in temporary shelters, but these shelters were reported to be insufficient in meeting their needs. Access to basic necessities such as clean water, food, and medicine is particularly challenging.
As floodwaters rise, numerous agricultural lands have been submerged, threatening the country's food security. Additionally, there is a serious health crisis risk in the region once the waters recede. The spread of diseases along with the waters is a concern for authorities.
The Hiranur Association is preparing to extend a helping hand to the flood victims in Bangladesh. The association is preparing emergency aid packages for the flood victims, including clean water, food, medicine, and hygiene supplies. Furthermore, the Hiranur Association will also engage in health and rehabilitation efforts in the region.
The entire world must stand in solidarity with Bangladesh during these difficult times. In the face of this tragic event, it is crucial for the international community to take action and support the people of Bangladesh.
