The Chattogram Division has been severely impacted by flash floods and monsoon rain, leaving thousands stranded without basic necessities, such as food, clean water, medicine, and electricity. These floods, intensified by persistent heavy rainfall and surging water from upstream, have impacted over one million people, leading to 51 confirmed deaths as of 10 August 2023.

The flash flood and monsoon rain have witnessed a response from both government and nongovernment entities. The Government, led by the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) and implemented by the DMC, has allocated a response fund of $588,785, primarily sourced from Government provisions such as rice, cash, housing grants, and dry food, focusing on districts like Cox’s Bazar, Bandarban, and Chattogram. On the other hand, non-governmental organizations, including BDRCS, Action Aid Bangladesh, Oxfam, and others, have garnered a combined response fund of $2,750,822, deploying their efforts across multiple affected districts, each backed by various donors including Swedish Red Cross, USAID, FCDO, and more.
