Recent torrential rains have wreaked havoc in Sylhet and Sunamganj in Bangladesh, affecting over 2 million people, including 772,000 vulnerable children.
Entire communities are submerged, and families are stranded without access to essential resources. Homes, schools, power supply lines, and water sources lie in ruins, exacerbating the dire situation.
In Assam, India, the situation is equally catastrophic. Constant rains since the first week of June 2024 have caused severe damage across the state.
Massive river erosion and landslides have compounded the crisis, creating havoc and dreadful conditions for the inhabitants. According to a recent report, 640,000 people from 1,275 villages are affected, with over 8,000 people taking shelter in relief camps.
The Crisis at Hand:
Children are at a heightened risk of drowning, malnutrition, and deadly waterborne diseases. Displacement adds to their trauma, while overcrowded shelters expose them to potential abuse.
The destruction of infrastructure, including thousands of toilets and tube wells, has left many without adequate sanitation and shelter, increasing the spread of disease.
The ongoing global hunger crisis further threatens to worsen the situation, with rising water levels destroying crops and putting the region at risk of starvation.
