Singapore Commits US$100,000 for Bangladesh Flood Relief
In response to the severe flooding in Bangladesh’s eastern districts, the Singapore government has pledged US$100,000 to support relief efforts. This contribution will serve as seed money to aid the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) in its public fundraising campaign, aimed at assisting the communities affected by the disaster.
Singapore Red Cross Launches Fundraising Appeal
Alongside the government’s contribution, the Singapore Red Cross has committed an additional US$50,000 to support emergency operations in the flood-stricken areas. The SRC has also launched a public appeal for donations to further bolster humanitarian aid and address the immediate needs of the millions affected by the flooding.
Addressing Immediate Humanitarian Needs
The combined efforts of the Singapore government and the Red Cross will focus on providing immediate relief to those impacted by the ongoing crisis. The funds will be directed towards essential supplies such as food, clean water, shelter, and medical assistance to help alleviate the suffering of displaced individuals and communities.
Heavy Rainfall Displaces Millions in Bangladesh
Since late August, heavy rainfall has devastated Bangladesh’s eastern regions, affecting millions of people and triggering widespread flooding. The situation has worsened as the water levels rise, displacing families and causing severe damage to homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Humanitarian aid is urgently needed to provide relief to those in the hardest-hit areas.
