Govt must strengthen social protection schemes to help those most vulnerable
This year's Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations scheduled to begin on June 19 was postponed today due to the worsening flood situation around the country.
With floodwater receding, different types of waterborne and skin diseases are spreading among the affected people, but in many areas victims have not received any government medical aid yet or could not see doctors due to lack of money.
As many as seven thousand fish farmers in Jamalpur have suffered huge loss, estimated at around Tk 48 crore, in this year’s floods that washed away their ponds.
Flash floods triggered by heavy rains since Wednesday inundated parts of Sylhet division yesterday, while the overflowing water from Teesta and Dharla rivers submerged char areas in Lalmonirhat and Gaibandha, disrupting the daily life of tens of thousands of people.
People in the coastal areas of Banshkhali upazila in Chittagong fear of more floods ahead as cyclone Roanu had badly damaged large portions of an embankment.
