Bangladesh Navy stands by flood-hit residents in Ctg
Around 2,000 food packets were distributed in several waterlogged neighbourhoods of Patenga.
The Bangladesh Navy has stepped in to support flood-hit residents in Chattogram by distributing emergency food aid to families stranded by severe waterlogging caused by heavy rainfall, upstream hill runoff and unusually high tides.
Thousands of people have been stranded in inundated neighbourhoods across the port city as continuous downpours, flash floods and tidal surges have caused widespread waterlogging, leaving many families facing severe hardship, reads a press release.
A Navy team visited several affected areas under Patenga Police Station, including Bijoy Nagar, Akmal Ali Road, New Mooring Madrasa, Narikel Tala and the Navy Hospital Gate area today (11 July), to assess the overall situation.
