Around 431 people have been severely injured in the disaster of which 72 are hospitalized and a total of 1731 families affected (of which 1283 and 448 families have been severely and partially affected). Among the eight affected unions, Machihata and Basudeb of Sadar Upazila and union of Uttar Akhaura of Akhaura Upazila have been severely affected. Unions of Ramrail and Sultanpur of Sadar Upazila, Pourashava of Akhaura Upazila and unions of Dakshin Shingerbil and Pattan of Bijoynagar Upazila have been moderately affected by the disaster. The disaster has damaged and destroyed houses and impacted the residences’ water and sanitation facilities, and livelihoods. In connection to the HCTT decision on 24 March 2013, the shelter and WASH cluster initiated a joint assessment on the recent disaster in Brahmanbaria district, through conducting Key Informant Interview (KII). The assessment was also joined by the Early Recovery / Food Security Cluster to understand the context of livelihood at present and priorities in this regard. Following the initiative, a joint team was formed where members from CDMP-UNDP, Disaster Management Department, Save the Children, UNDP/ERF, Habitat for Humanity and IFRC volunteered to take part in Key Informant Interview (KII) with various stakeholders from 03/04/2013-04/04/2013 at the District, Upazila and Union level in Brahmanbaria district. The KII was meant to understand the current situation, priorities of the affected population and gaps in assistance by various stakeholders. The KII focussed on aspects including shelter, WASH and Early Recovery which had been conducted based on the formats provided: one, covering background and technical aspects on shelter, WASH and Early Recovery and a second format on agriculture. Available secondary information, such as D-forms at the Upazila level, had also been collected for reference. A Disaster Management Committee (DMC) meeting was held on 3rd March 2013 at Deputy Commissioner (DC) office which had been facilitated by CRA Specialist, CDMP-UNDP, in order to have a discussion on the objective of the KII to be conducted, to have an overview of the disaster situation and priorities in the aspects of shelter, WASH and Livelihood and the gaps in terms of assistance to the affected people. The assessment team had later divided itself to conduct KII on the technical aspects, Shelter & WASH, Agriculture and Livestock and Education based on his/her expertise. This report presents the findings of KII under various aspects including shelter, WASH and Early Recovery. According to the government statistics, 1778 houses have been completely destroyed and 744 houses have been partially damaged. While most of the affected population has been living without proper shelter since the storm, most are under tents and others have constructed temporary makeshift dwellings on the site of their original houses. As per the government D form, a total of 70 hectares (173 acres) of agricultural land has been completely destroyed and 450 hectares (1,112 acres) of agricultural land partially affected. In average, a total of 295 hectares of Boro rice and 10 hectares of vegetable crops are completely damaged. The tornado impacted the low lying areas of Brahmanbaria district damaging mostly the mono crop of Boro rice production. The storm carried much of the debris into the paddy fields, as a result, affecting the crops. Although no negative coping strategy is adopted by affected people at present, the community is more inclined to external support that may delay the resume of original livelihood. 6 A total number of 371 tube-wells have been damaged and total 595 latrines have been damaged, (of which 523 have been completely destroyed and 72 have been partially affected) in the twister.

  • Effectiveness of Depot-Holders Introduced in Urban Areas: Evidence from a Pilot in Bangladesh
    J HEALTH POPUL NUTR 2005 Dec;23(4):377-387 © 2005 ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research ISSN 1606-0997 $ 5.00+0.20 Effectiveness of Depot-holders Introduced in Urban Areas: Evidence from a Pilot in Bangladesh Rukhsana Gazi, Alec Mercer, Jahanara Khatun, and Ziaul Islam Health Systems and Infectious Diseases Division ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research GPO Box 128, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Depot-holders are women from the community who promote good health practice and use of clinics. They keep a stock of contraceptives and oral rehydration salts to supply other women and are paid some incentives. In 2003, the NGO Service Delivery Program (NSDP) introduced depot-holders in three types of urban area in Bangladesh as a pilot. This evaluation study was carried out to: (a) establish a baseline for measuring the impact of activities of depot-holders on a comprehensive range of indicators in the long-term, (b) make a preliminary assessment of the impact on the use of selected services of the essen-tial services package (ESP) and other indicators at the end of the pilot phase, and (c) assess the cost of introducing depot-holders and running their activities for a year. Data from the baseline and end of pilot household surveys, together with service statistics from the intervention and comparison areas, were used for assessing the changes in clinic use and commodity distribution. The study found evidence that the depot-holders transferred knowledge to women in the community, provided services, and referred women to clinics run by non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

  • Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali Language
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: BGD30821 Country: Bangladesh Date: 8 November 2006 Keywords: Bangladesh – Hindus – Awami League – Bengali language This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? 3. Is the Awami League traditionally supported by the Hindus in Bangladesh? 4. Are Hindu supporters of the Awami League discriminated against and if so, by whom? 5. Are there parts of Bangladesh where Hindus enjoy more safety? 6. Is Bengali the language of Bangladeshis? RESPONSE 1. Are Hindus a minority religion in Bangladesh? Hindus constitute approximately 10 percent of the population in Bangladesh making them a religious minority. Sunni Muslims constitute around 88 percent of the population and Buddhists and Christians make up the remainder of the religious minorities. The Hindu minority in Bangladesh has progressively diminished since partition in 1947 from approximately 25 percent of the population to its current 10 percent (US Department of State 2006, International Religious Freedom Report for 2006 – Bangladesh, 15 September – Attachment 1). 2. How are religious minorities, notably Hindus, treated in Bangladesh? In general, minorities in Bangladesh have been consistently mistreated by the government and Islamist extremists. Specific discrimination against the Hindu minority intensified immediately following the 2001 national elections when the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) gained victory with its four-party coalition government, including two Islamic parties.
