We called, you responded.

Sending our gratitude to all individuals, donor agencies and organisations who have supported us in delivering essential support to those most affected by the recent floods in Bangladesh.

People across 11 districts of the country have been severely impacted by the worst floods Bangladesh has seen in three decades. BRAC’s dedicated field staff have been working around the clock to provide emergency relief and rehabilitation for the people most affected.

Bangladesh is calling, will you respond?

Just as Bangladesh recovers from Cyclone Remal, which impacted 4.6 million people and destroyed 35,000 houses mostly in the coastal areas, northeastern Bangladesh has been hit by flash flooding. 1.25 million people have been affected, with more than 30,000 people seeking shelter, according to early estimates.

Cyclone Remal marked the first time @BRACworld's cyclone-resilient houses were in action. Over 1,000 people sheltered in them, and the houses performed really well.

We have the solutions, we just need the finance to scale.

Just as we're recovering from the heatwave, cyclone season starts. @BRACworld is on the ground with our partners closely monitoring the situation. Staff and volunteers are ready with pre-positioned stock and closely coordinating with local authorities. #cycloneremal

Lightning now kills more people than floods in Bangladesh. 11 people died and 9 were injured in a single day this month. People in Bangladesh are 30 times more likely to be killed by lightning than people in the US. Lots of factors, climate change exacerbating them all.

HIND’S HALL Now Available on Streaming. All Proceeds to UNRWA. https://t.co/daXnWRmBHE

[Norman Finkelstein @normfinkelstein]

Today marks a historic occasion. By seizing control of Hamilton Hall, students at Columbia University have anchored in historical memory the nexus between the horrors inflicted in Vietnam that was the hallmark of my generation with the horrors inflicted in Gaza that is the hallmark of the new generation. It is testament to the majesty of these young people that they have risked their futures for the sake of a poor, powerless people halfway around the world in order to uphold that sacred principle that every life is worthy and the murder of none shall pass in silence. As Abraham Lincoln famously quoted, "The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." The right of the people of Gaza to live is an eternal truth. May the young soldiers in Hamilton Hall be honored and blessed for not countenancing, come what may, its extinguishment.

A moving tribute to @BRACworld founder Sir Fazle Hasan Abed, who would have been 88 today. Fittingly, I'm heading to a carnival celebrating young changemakers across Bangladesh - he would have loved it. He firmly believed in investing in youth.

(1/2) Have your uterus removed, or eventually die. That’s the situation for many women living on the frontline of the climate crisis. Read Rini’s story, a fisher from BD to know what’s causing this - and why it is a concern for the world. https://t.co/369Ro1LdSW

[BRAC @BRACworld]

(1/2) Countries like Bangladesh are receiving 3% of the funding they need to adapt to the climate crisis. Ahead of #COP28, we bring the stories of the people like Minara who are paying the other 97%.
