DHAKA – As the toll of death and damage from flooding continues to mount in Bangladesh, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is giving much-needed food supplies to nearly two million people in advance of launching a major emergency operation for millions more victims of the disaster. Since the second wave of flooding in mid-July, which incurred some US$7 billion in damage to Bangladesh, WFP has mobilised its existing in-country food supplies to distribute rice and high-energy biscuits to 1.8 million people, while calling on donors to support the agency’s steadily mounting relief campaign.
