Over 5.8 million people across 11 districts in eastern Bangladesh have been severely affected by the recent devastating floods. Our 5,000-person response team, including seven medical teams, is working tirelessly to provide emergency relief—rescuing people, delivering food and drinking water, providing medical care, and sharing safety information. Our top priorities include treating injuries and infectious diseases, providing emergency care for pregnant women and children, and distributing essential medications. Hundreds have already received care, but there’s still a long road to recovery ahead. With decades of experience, BRAC is committed to helping these communities rebuild as the waters recede. Your support is crucial to sustaining these efforts. Thank you for standing with us and the people of Bangladesh during this critical time.

The #BangladeshFloods — the worst in decades — caused the most wrath in #Feni, where water levels hit 20 feet in places. Even as some water levels drop, is that enough for life to return to normal? BRAC will stand alongside women like Karimunnes until she and her family are back on their feet again, with #hope renewed.
