The Sundarbans Region in Bangladesh is prone to cyclones, storm surges, floods, and droughts, including salinity intrusion, rising sea level, river erosion, water logging, and high tides. With its deterioration, millions of people in the region struggle to obtain basic needs like water and electricity. The lack of safe drinking water has led to outbreaks of water borne diseases in poor villages. Villages are enveloped in darkness after sunset due to the lack of electricity.
Cyclone Remal is the first of the frequent storms expected to pound the low-lying coasts of India and Bangladesh this year as climate change drives up surface temperatures at sea. Maksudur Rahman, head of local development organization Bangladesh Environment and Development Society (BEDS) near the Sundarbans area, said better maintenance of coastal embankments would help limit the damage from storm surges.
At this moment we have to take some emergency action to support the cyclne Remal victims such as proving foods and necessary goods for their survival beside this we need to support the affected families to rebuilt their houses and brink back to their business such as shrimp farming and agricultural activities.
The affected families will be started their regular life and doing their business by our support. We will take more necessary action for reducing the risk of climate change.
