Most SMEs lost all of their belongings and now seek government assistance
Sixty-year-old Kofil Uddin watched helplessly as floodwater crept into his home at Bhabani Jibanpur village in Noakhali’s Begumganj upazila on August 10. More than a month has passed, but the house is still under knee-deep water.
The ongoing flood has washed away the fish from 85,379 farms in Noakhali, causing losses of around Tk 576.50 crore as well as affecting thousands of fish farmers, said Noakhali Department of Fisheries sources
People wishing to distribute relief materials among the flood victims are finding it very difficult to reach remote areas due to a lack of boats.
Millions of people were still left without electricity and any means of communication, and relief materials had not reached many remote areas where families were stranded in flooded villages for days.
Says father of Hasan, 20, who was shot dead on July 18
"We were going for breakfast when my son got shot. He died without even having something to eat."
