Haor is a treasure trove of scenic beauty and resources. Where people have to live by battling with the dreadful beauty of nature. It is said that the word "haor" is derived from the word "ocean". The Haor is basically a vast area, mostly a swampy region that is flooded annually during the monsoon season. The Haor looks like an ocean during the rainy season, and the villages that are situated there seem to be islands. For seven months of the year, the haor remains underwater. The water coming into the haor leaves a lot of silt, which is very beneficial for rice production. But sometimes this water is no longer a blessing when it comes down the mountain slopes in the form of a flash flood due to excessive rainfall. The Center for Natural Resources Studies (CNRS), a member agency of Start Fund Bangladesh, responded to the catastrophic flood in the Sylhet region last year. The SFB responses included both emergency responses to meet the immediate needs and an early recovery initiative to fill the gap in response found in the longer term. The Center for Natural Resource Studies (CNRS) was awarded the early recovery project and has supported more than 7000 people through interventions like shelter support, installation of latrines, tubewell repair with platforms, cash for work, MPCG support, livelihood support, and many more actions that have been guided by the community. https://lnkd.in/g6VrNqwH #startfundbangladesh #CNRS

Recent floods have ravaged numerous provinces in #Afghanistan, particularly Badghis, Oruzgan, Farah, Paktia, Zabul, Helmand, #Sar-e-Pul, Kabul, Badakhshan, #Ghor, Kandahar, Takhar, Parwan, Herat, Ghazni, Laghman, and Nimroz. These floods have caused extensive #financial and #human losses. The recent floods, triggered by intense rainfall, have highlighted Afghanistan's #vulnerability to this #naturaldisaster. As a result, roads have become impassable, impeding rescue efforts and causing significant damage to #infrastructure, government schools, orchards, bridges, #power dams, and agricultural lands.  #CEYI #Afghanistan #flashflood #NaturalDisater

Great news for Sindh's flood resilience! The World Bank has approved $149.7 million in additional financing for the Sindh Barrages Improvement Program (SBIP) [World Bank Pakistan Press Release]. This is a huge win for the province, as it will support: * Better flood resilience: Strengthening the Guddu and Sukkur barrages will be crucial in managing future floods and protecting communities. * Improved barrage management: The project will enhance the overall management of Sindh's three main barrages - Guddu, Sukkur, and Kotri. * Increased reliability and safety: Rehabilitation works will ensure the barrages function effectively and safely. This funding comes at a critical time, following the devastating floods of 2022. By investing in barrage improvements, Sindh is taking a proactive step towards building a more resilient future. #Sindh #FloodResilience #WorldBank #SBIP #Pakistan

Hours after the floods that struck #Afghanistan earlier last month, #WFP started to respond to the needs of affected communities. Until end of last week, we have been able to reach more than 70,000 people in 14 provinces via our area offices with #food assistance. Nearly three quarters of these people were supported in #Ghor, #Baghlan and #Faryab which are also the provinces with some of the highest damages. This immediate assistance is crucial for these families, but what they really need is the support to #rebuild their lives. The affected villages need longer-term investments that protect homes and fields to prepare them to face the worsening #ClimateCrisis. In #Baghlan, a #WFP-supported protection wall protected 670 #families and 400 acres of agricultural #land.
