About 4.5 million people in 11 districts have been affected by the ongoing floods in Bangladesh. 13 deaths have already been reported due to this disaster. According to the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, the figures were released as of noon on Friday (August 23).
The Ministry of Disaster Management said that around 188,000 people have already been evacuated from the flood-affected areas. All the concerned authorities including the law and order forces are working together to deal with the situation.
The death toll includes 4 in Comilla, 3 in Cox's Bazar, 1 in Feni, 2 in Chittagong, 1 in Noakhali, 1 in Brahmanbaria and 1 in Laxmipur.
The government has allocated 3 crore 52 lakh taka and 20 thousand 150 metric tons of rice to help the affected people. Besides, advisers of the interim government are staying there to monitor the situation in Comilla and Feni.
The lives of these people affected by the flood have stopped. Many have lost their homes, agricultural land, and even their loved ones. The sound of crying and wailing is now normal on the sidewalks of Comilla. People's dreams have been swept away by the stream of water coming down from the top of that high hill in Cox's Bazar. Those peaceful villages of Feni are now empty.
The river flowing through the heart of Noakhali is flowing with sadness today. Sitting under that ancient tree in Brahmanbaria no longer spends time in laughter, but now only silence. The simple people of Lakshmipur, who once had the motivation to live, today seem to have lost that motivation too.
In such a difficult time, this help given by the government may show them some light of hope. But, it is very difficult to fill the space of that lost life.
People's broken homes may be repaired with time, but the scars that will remain on their minds from this disaster will not be easily erased.
