Already, more than 2.8 million people have been affected, including over 1 million who remain isolated and surrounded by floodwaters, according to the Bangladesh Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief.
As NABIC has always given support to our brothers & sisters in need, in response to the flood crisis, the NABIC board has decided to provide $10,000 from our emergency relief fund. Our local partner from the flood-affected area is getting ready to distribute emergency relief with NABIC funds. We need more support. On behalf of NABIC, we appeal to you to donate generously during these blesses days to mitigate the sufferings of our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh and save lives.
