Bangladesh Cyclone Appeal

Bangladesh is often hit by cyclones, but experts have reported that Cyclone Sidr was a category four storm, the most powerful so far in the season. Hundreds of thousands of families were in need of help, they required food, water, clothing and shelter. Before Cyclone Sidr struck, the people of Bangladesh were living under plastic sheeting, tarpaulin and other basic shelters. Statistics reveal that about 1.3 million people are still living in temporary shelters.

Three months since cyclone Sidr struck Bangladesh was faced with another crisis...food shortage. The cyclone along with the summer floods caused massive agricultural damage, nearly 2.6 million tonnes of agricultural produce was lost, which meant over 2 million acres of crops were damaged, and 1.23 million tonnes of rice was destroyed.

According to the Agricultural Ministry in Bangladesh, an estimated 60 million people live on less than a dollar a day and face severe hunger. The people of Bangladesh are finding it increasingly hard to afford even the most basic amounts of food to feed their families.

HRF was quick to respond to such a wide scale disaster by launching an emergency appeal. Food, temporary shelter, clothing and water were urgently needed for people who were displaced in the aftermath of the cyclone. Our appeal brought in aid and assistance from generous donors from all over the world. HRF used the funds collected by helping thousands of families to rebuild their lives. Along with other aid agencies, HRF was also involved in the planning for longer rehabilitation plans for the people of Bangladesh.

HRF will continue to support the people of Bangladesh with the help and support from its donors!
