On 20 June 2024, in collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh, UNICEF distributed Emergency kits containing jerry cans, water purification tablets, and hygiene kits to meet the immediate needs of flood-affected children and families. This was all about ensuring their safety and well-being during these devastating floods.
Over 2,000,000 people, including over 772,000 children, were affected by the floods in the north-east. Children face heightened risks of drowning, malnutrition, waterborne diseases, and trauma from displacement. These Emergency Kits can be real life-savers in critical situations like these.
