Feni, August 24 — Life has become increasingly difficult for the flood victims in Feni, as rising water levels have forced many to leave their homes in search of safety and shelter. Some are moving towards the city, while others are desperately trying to reconnect with family members in remote villages. The disconnection of communication lines has only compounded their plight, making it nearly impossible to locate loved ones or seek help.
Floodwaters have inundated every part of the district, submerging houses and roads and creating a severe food shortage in many villages. The stagnant water has paralyzed daily life, with many residents forced to move to urban areas with their families. Others are moving from one village to another in search of relatives, but the severed communication lines have left them searching in vain. In the midst of this, there is a desperate cry for relief in the affected areas.
In the urban areas, where many sought refuge, the situation is equally dire. The severe damage caused by the floods has disrupted all aspects of life. Even wealthy families, who were once accustomed to a comfortable lifestyle, find themselves in desperate need of relief. For instance, the Mullah Bari in Sadar's new market area, a home equipped with all the amenities of modern living and known for its philanthropic efforts, is now among those waiting for emergency aid.
This plight is shared by many affluent families who have been forced out of their homes. Their only refuge now is in the multi-storied buildings of educational institutions, where they stay alongside others who have been displaced by the flood.
A severe shortage of food has gripped the affected areas, with residents relying on dry foods like crackers and biscuits to survive. As the situation worsens, the need for substantial relief efforts has become urgent. The flood victims of Feni face a bleak and uncertain future as they wait for assistance and the receding of floodwaters.
