“I Have Lost Everything”: Bangladesh Floods Strand more than 1.24 Million Families!
On August 21, 2024, heavy monsoon rains and a sudden surge of water from the Indian state of Tripura led to catastrophic flooding in southeastern and northeastern Bangladesh. Eleven districts were severely impacted, including Feni, Cumilla, Chattogram, Khagrachari, Noakhali, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Brahmanbaria, Sylhet, Lakshmipur, and Cox’s Bazar, marking one of the worst flood events in recent history.
The intense rainfall, combined with the upstream water flow, triggered flash floods that devastated low-lying areas, particularly in Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Feni, Cumilla, and Chattogram. The disaster has claimed the lives of 59 people, with causes of death ranging from snake bites to electrocution, and many were swept away by the floodwaters. As the waters begin to recede, countless families have lost their homes and livestock, and are now suffering from a lack of safe drinking water, cooked food, and the spread of waterborne diseases.
