Flood relief to 2,000 families

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), with support from the Australian government through AusAID, will provide emergency relief to 10,000 people stricken by recent flooding in Chakoria upazila, Cox's Bazar.
The WFP has allocated six tonnes of high-energy biscuits to 2,000 households at Koiyarbil, Loikkharchar, Kakara, and Boroitoli unions of the upazila. Each household will be provided with three kilograms of the fortified biscuits, says a press release.
The WFP in collaboration with the government and through its local NGO partner, Muslim Aid, will organise the distributions and engage in monitoring of the flood-hit communities.
