UNB, Dhaka :
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) has called for support as extreme monsoon weather triggers consecutive disasters, including landslides and cyclone, in Bangladesh.
“Southeast Bangladesh is facing the full onslaught of monsoon. We’re dealing with back-to-back disasters at the moment and the volunteers of the Bangladesh Red Crescent are out in force, helping these stricken communities,”
says Azmat Ulla, the head of IFRC Bangladesh office.
The IFRC observed that the Southeast Bangladesh is reeling from the effects of monsoon as days of severe rains have triggered landslides in Chittagong hills, killing over 100 people and leaving many missing.
This latest disaster comes in the wake of Cyclone Mora that battered the same region barely two weeks ago.
