Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBangladesh | 2020 severe monsoon floods | Urgent call for assistance 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Heavy monsoon rainfall, coupled with rising water levels in the three major river basins and hilly areas upstream, have led to major flooding in northern, north-eastern and south-eastern Bangladesh. Initially, the Forecast-based Financing Working Group predicted that five districts of Bangladesh would be affected, however, the situation is much more severe and a further deterioration is expected over the coming days. Food security and livelihoods in the Country have already been heavily impacted. There has been widespread damage, including to agricultural land and flood protection infrastructure, disrupting agricultural production. Furthermore, there have been severe losses of crops, poultry, livestock and fisheries, as well as major constraints to market access and food price fluctuations. Reduced employment opportunities, due to disruptions in food value chains, are also limiting income and the purchasing power of vulnerable households. Many households have already adopted negative coping mechanisms, such as selling their livestock below market price and eating fewer meals. This will further increase poverty levels. The severe monsoon floods this year are further exacerbating the humanitarian situation in a country already facing other emergencies, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Rohingya refugee crisis in Cox’s Bazar and the recent Cyclone Amphan. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is implementing humanitarian response activities to strengthen the resilience of agricultural livelihoods and protect the productive assets of vulnerable households affected by severe monsoon flooding in 2020. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBangladesh: Cyclone Remal and northeastern floods – Urgent call for assistance 2024
Also available in:
No results found.On 26 May 2024, Cyclone Remal struck Bangladesh, unleashing severe floods and landslides across several districts. It was the most devastating cyclone to hit the country in over a decade, causing widespread damage to agricultural livelihoods and resulting in considerable losses to household income. In light of this situation, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations seeks to support cyclone- and flood-affected households by providing agricultural production inputs and rehabilitating rural productive infrastructures. This support is crucial to help the affected communities restore food production, rebuild their livelihoods and strengthen their resilience to withstand future shocks. -

No results found.Through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium initially contributed USD 500 000 to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support recovery efforts in Bangladesh following the severe impact of cyclone Remal on coastal districts in May 2024. In response to further devastation from flash floods in August 2024, Belgium contributed an additional USD 350 000, enabling FAO to expand its cash+ interventions. This extended support will reach 9 050 farming households (36 200 people) with cash transfers and vital agricultural inputs to help restore rural livelihoods and improve food security. This document presents a summary of the context and highlights the importance of the contribution to recovery efforts.
