The recent flash floods in Bangladesh have devastated 11 districts, affecting approximately 5.2 million people. Entire communities have been displaced, with nearly 470,000 people seeking refuge in shelters, while thousands of families are stranded, cut off from essential resources. The floods have caused widespread destruction, demolishing homes, infrastructure, and crops, and leaving many without access to clean water or food.
In response, ActionAid has mobilized to provide immediate relief to the most affected communities. Our teams on the ground are delivering cooked and dry food, hygiene kits, safe drinking water, and emergency medical supplies to thousands of flood survivors. We are also prioritizing the protection of vulnerable groups, including women, children, and the elderly, to ensure their safety in overcrowded shelters.
Through our signature community-led approach, our teams are responding immediately. We're providing critical supplies like food and shelter to communities impacted by the floods. We're also continuing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and the whole web of injustices that make these crises disproportionately affect people in poverty.
ActionAid's response is community-driven, women-led, and rights-based, which means your donation today invests in change that lasts. Your gift helps us respond to this crisis, sustains long-term disaster preparedness, and supports human rights around the world.
