Recent floods have severely affected Kurigram, one of Bangladesh's poorest districts, leaving around 200,000 people stranded and many families homeless due to river erosion. Rokeya from Haquer Char, who recently lost her home, is seeking refuge with her family at her sister’s house in Guzimarir Char. Despite the receding waters of 16 rivers in Kurigram, the Brahmaputra river remains above the danger mark, exacerbating the situation.

District Commissioner Mohammad Saidul Arif reported that the floods have impacted nine upazilas, 55 unions, and one municipality, submerging over 662 square kilometers. Relief efforts have been inadequate, with many families still awaiting assistance. Union Parishad Chairman Mozaffar Hossain highlighted the severe impact on the Char areas, with many families left destitute by the floods.

Residents like Ful Mia, Dulu, Mukul, Saherbanu Bewa, Rahima Bewa, and Shahabuddin are among those facing an uncertain future as they seek refuge and struggle to survive amidst the devastation.
