Flash Floods Hit Bangladesh
Heavy monsoon rains have led to flash floods in 11 districts across the country, affecting 5.7 million people and disproportionately affecting low-income neighborhoods. According to local sources, over 20 people have been killed and many more have been left stranded, thousands of homes have been damaged, and hundreds of thousands of acres of crops – a main food supply and source of livelihood – have been washed away.
Thanks to your support, Islamic Relief USA is working to provide emergency relief through cash assistance to our brothers and sisters in need.

Focus on Bangladesh
Agriculture plays an important role in the livelihoods of the people in Bangladesh. Monsoon season brings heavy rainfall and strong winds, increasing the risk of floods and landslides and exacerbating poverty and economic insecurity. The Rohingya crisis in the neighboring country of Myanmar has also greatly affected the country. Bangladesh is home to what has quickly become the largest and most densely populated refugee camp in the world.
