20 million people have been displaced by the floods that have hit the country in recent weeks. That's over 10% of the nation's population. The extent of the disaster is incomprehensible to most of us. The needs are staggering.
The floods have not yet abated. Inlets continue to overflow destroying homes, farms, and villages. People are finding shelter where they can. On the roadsides. In open fields. They have lost everything. They lack food, medicines, and the most basic of supplies to meet their daily needs. Women and children are among the most vulnerable.
Vast areas of agricultural lands are underwater, and the former residents of these lands are saying that it will be several years before the ground will be ready to yield crops again. Women are again the most affected as 80% of women living in rural areas are engaged in farming.
