This initiative was spearheaded by the Young Ambassador of the International Human Rights Commission in Bangladesh, Mr. Taz Mohammad. The team under his leadership, led by the SMM IHRC BD zonal coordinator, Mr. Azimur Rahman Raihan, along with a group of volunteers from Lakshmipur Sadar, reached these remote villages where the situation was particularly dire. The volunteers, including Kazi Abdur Rahman Rahat, Rana, Samad, Sihab, Raju, Kanchan, Rahman, Milan, Omar, Riyaz, and Jisan, managed to deliver the necessary supplies to the residents despite the challenging conditions.

The villages of Bishnunagar and Parvati Nagar were heavily flooded, leaving the residents cut off from food and drinking water for several days. The locals expressed deep gratitude for the assistance, emphasising that the provision of water and food was crucial for their survival under such harsh conditions.

A key role in organising the relief efforts was played by the SMM IHRC Bangladesh Peace Ambassador, Mohammed Elias Serazi, who secured the funds to finance these humanitarian activities. He also donated 20,000.00 TAKA to the Government of Bangladesh’s Relief and Welfare Fund.

Dr. Muhammed Kamal Uddin, the representative of the chief adviser of the interim government of Bangladesh, expressed his thanks for the support and commitment of the International Human Rights Commission. He highlighted that no donation is too small, and its significance is profound and sincere. He added that the actions of SMM IHRC BD are highly valued and play a crucial role in crisis moments such as the current flood.

The Special Monitoring Mission of the International Human Rights Commission in Bangladesh has once again demonstrated its readiness to act in the most challenging times, supporting those who need help the most. Under the leadership of Peace Ambassador Mohammed Elias Serazi and Young Ambassador Taz Mohammad, SMM IHRC BD continues its efforts to mitigate the impact of the floods and provide relief to the affected residents.
