5.2 Million – Severe Flooding Strikes Bangladesh Again
Bangladesh is facing a catastrophic flood situation once more, with recent reports confirming the worst fears. Over 5.2 million people have been affected, and at least 20 lives have been tragically lost to the relentless waters. Entire communities are submerged, leaving families without shelter, clean water, or basic supplies. The need for urgent intervention cannot be overstated.
Blackstone’s On-Ground Efforts
As the floodwaters rise, Blackstone’s response teams are already in motion, navigating the challenging conditions to deliver critical aid. Our presence on the ground enables us to assess needs directly on an hour by hour basis and respond and adapt quickly.
We’re providing dry food packs to feed hungry families, essential clothing like lungis, t-shirts, burkas and hijabs, and sanitary items to ensure health and hygiene. Medicines are distributed to care for the sick, and we also bring toys to children, offering them a moment of joy and a reason to smile amidst the devastation.
The Harrowing Impact and the Path Forward
The scenes on the ground are heart-wrenching as children and the elderly are particularly at risk, facing severe health threats from waterborne diseases and malnutrition. Families have seen their homes and livelihoods washed away, leaving them in a state of desperate need. The psychological toll is also mounting, as many are left with uncertainty about their future and the safety of their loved ones.
But our work doesn’t end here. The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated—every moment matters as we strive to reach those in need before it’s too late. When the floodwaters recede, we will begin our second phase of support. We’ll be there to help with the clean-up operation, remove debris, and restore basic infrastructure. We’ll provide children with new school equipment, refurnish homes, and even rebuild entire houses for those who have lost everything.
