Bangladesh Floods Urgent Appeal 2012

Bangladesh was struck by torrential rainfall over a period of 5 days. The flood has killed 110 in Chittagong and other parts of the South East - including the Cox's Bazar and Bandarban areas. Flooding has cut off the region from the rest of the country, shutting down roads, rail, air routes and communications. Flood Victims are living in miserable conditions without any proper food, shelter and clean water from last week. People have lost their houses and are living in open skies. Many organizations including the Bangladesh Army is helping rescue as many victims as much possible. But more efforts are required from civil society and the international community.

According to the flood warning and forecasting centre, flooding is getting worse in the North Eastern districts of Sylhet and Sunamgonj in the next 24 hours.

Reuters reported the flooding in Bangladesh, some of the heaviest in years, have set off flash floods and landslides, killing at least 110 people, stranding about 200,000 and over 150,000 have been marooned.

Low-lying and densely populated Bangladesh has been battered by torrential downpours during the wet season, which began in the past few weeks.

Mr and Mrs Khurshid Ahmed are in their early 60s. Mr Khurshid Ahmed is a retired driver and his wife Hajra Bibi is house wife. They live in a very small house in Lahore and have responsibility for four paralysed children.
