Emergency Food Relief
Southeastern Bangladesh is currently facing a severe flood crisis
due to continuous heavy rainfall and rising river levels. Areas like
Feni, Comilla, and Noakhali are severely affected, with over 1.5
million people stranded as roads and highways are submerged.
Rivers such as Gumti, Muhuri, and Khowai have reached dangerous
levels, impacting additional regions like Khagrachari and Sylhet.
The situation is worsening with ongoing rainfall, causing power
outages, food and water shortages, and significant damage to
homes and farmlands.
OBAT Helpers is actively preparing to provide critical relief in these
areas through its staff and youth wing, OBAT Think Tank, by
distributing dry foods and offering medical assistance. As the
floodwaters recede, our volunteers will focus on rehabilitating
affected families. You can contribute to this vital effort; your
donations, however small, can bring hope and relief to those who
have lost everything. Let’s unite and help save Bangladesh!

Floods in Sherpur, Bangladesh
After the floods in Feni, Bangladesh, a second round of rainfall caused around 100 villages to become flooded in Sherpur. Families were stranded without food for days due to lack of easy commute to their villages.
OBAT teams sailed off from Mymensingh to perform rescue operations and provide emergency food support. OBAT Think Tank Rangpur team completed 200 food tokens distribution with the help of UP members, Balapara Union, Kawnia Upzilla, Rangpur.
