The Islamic Society of Heriot-Watt University is rasing funds for the Bangladesh floods

The flash floods and subsequent waterlogging have disproportionately affected extremely poor households, particularly those displaced due to damage to their shelters.

People are currently stranded in their homes and urgently need evacuation support, as thousands of households have been damaged, with fish and standing crops washed away. Many people are now living under the open sky, having lost their belongings to the disaster.

Islamic Relief is responding to the situation. Our teams in Bangladesh have a well-equipped surge team that will be deployed to the affected areas with the necessary logistical support. Our immediate response will involve distributing hygiene kits and multi-purpose cash assistance to communities affected.

£56 can provide a family in an emergency food pack for one month.

£80 can provide hygiene kits for six families.

£168 can provide cash grants for two families.
