Relief distribution among flood victims in Greater Chittagong

A severe flood hit Chittagong in the first week of this month. Extensive areas in Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar, and Bandarban were submerged, affecting thousands of families. As always,  Al Quran and Sunnah Foundation stepped forward with all its strength to support the affected people.

Today, 21 July, the implementation of emergency relief and rehabilitation activities has been successfully completed. Under this initiative, a total of 143 tonnes of relief materials were distributed among 10,000 flood-affected families across 8 upazilas in Greater Chittagong. The distributed relief items included 80 tonnes of rice, 16 tonnes of lentils, 20 tonnes of dates, 8 tonnes of oil, 5 tonnes of salt, 4 tonnes of flattened rice (chira), 2 tonnes of puffed rice (muri), and 8 tonnes of pure drinking water.

The relief was distributed across 8 affected upazilas: Banshkhali, Satkania, Pekua, Chakaria, Lohagara, Chandanaish, and Bandarban Sadar and Lama upazilas of Bandarban district.

Additionally,  Al Quran and Sunnah Foundation took a special initiative to alleviate the suffering of flood-affected cattle rearers. A total of 50 tonnes of cattle feed was distributed among 3,000 cattle rearers in the same 8 affected upazilas.

With the sincere cooperation of donors, the tireless hard work of volunteers, and the overall efforts of the Foundation’s staff, the ‘Disaster Relief Operation-2026’ was completed very swiftly and successfully.

Following the completion of the relief operations, Al Quran and Sunnah Foundation is now focusing on the rehabilitation of the affected people. The screening process is currently underway to build two-room brick houses for 300 helpless families who lost their homes in the flood. After the verification, new homes will be constructed for the selected families under the rehabilitation project, InshaAllah.
