Resumen
Descripción
Cyclone Remal and subsequent monsoon floods have devastated the livelihoods of agriculture-dependent communities across multiple regions in Bangladesh. The disasters have led to the destruction of crops, livestock assets and fisheries, totaling an estimated USD 596 million in damages and affecting 1.7 million farming households. With over 23.6 million people facing high levels of acute food insecurity and significant disruptions to rural livelihoods, negative coping mechanisms such as increased reliance on credit and livestock sales are becoming more prevalent. To address these critical needs, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks USD 20.54 million to support 244 443 households (972 886 people) through the distribution of production inputs and the rehabilitation of rural infrastructure. This document outlines the impact of the cyclone and floods, FAO’s response plan and funding requirements.
