With each climate shock, humanitarian needs rise, and the resilience of vulnerable communities is also tested. Behind every number there is a human story of resilience and struggle.

The most recent flooding in Chattogram happened at a time when Bangladesh was in the midst of political change following Student lead protests that resulted in the appointment of a new Interim government under the leadership of Chief Advisor Dr. Mohammed Yunus.
