SINGAPORE, 9 September 2024 – IMercy Relief’s (MR) response team led by Executive Director Muhammad Ashik, arrived in Bangladesh early this morning to distribute relief aid in response to the devastating floods that have swept across the nation, affecting more than 5 million people and leaving many in dire need. The relief comprises food packs and sanitation items for 3,000 households across the nation’s hard-hit district of Noakhali.
Assessing the situation on the ground in Bangladesh, Mercy Relief’s Executive Director, Mr. Muhammad Ashik, said, “We are witnessing first-hand the devastation these floods have wrought on disaster-stricken communities in Bangladesh and remain firm in our mission to alleviate the suffering of individuals, and support families through this trying time.”
Mercy Relief’s commitment to uplifting communities in Bangladesh dates throughout the years, including during the 2007 Cyclone Sidr and the 2022 South Asia Floods. Reflecting on these past missions, he added that MR’s continued presence reflects a strong relationship with local communities and its indomitable dedication to providing aid to those in need.
Mercy Relief’s impact is made possible through the generous support of our donors, partners, and the wider community. Every donation counts, and we encourage our fellow Singaporeans to join hands as we continue to respond to the situation in Bangladesh, alleviate the challenges faced by these communities, and assist them on their journey to recovery.
