Every year, Bangladesh faces devastating floods that claim lives and leave millions homeless. In 2024 alone, over 5.8 million people were affected, 71 lives were lost, and damages soared to $1.2 billion.
Annually, disasters like floods, droughts, and storms inflict nearly $3 billion in losses, affecting over 6.3 million people.
These figures, while staggering, only hint at the personal tragedies—homes submerged, livelihoods destroyed, dreams washed away.
For over two decades, I have been documenting these stories through my lens, aiming to illuminate the resilience and dignity of those who face nature’s wrath with unwavering spirit.
Photographing the human cost of climate change is not just about images; it’s about empathy, understanding, and a call to action.
