Descripción
Two consecutive waves of devastating flash floods in May–June 2022 have severely disrupted the lives and livelihoods of 7.3 million people from predominantly rural communities in nine northeastern districts in Bangladesh. The climate-induced disaster damaged 65 percent of crops, 44 percent of livestock assets and 60 percent of fisheries, impacting the livelihoods of more than 758 000 farming households, 371 573 livestock and poultry keeping households and 75 000 fishers, among others. The document provides an overview of the impact of the disaster on agriculture and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements.
