Brac has allocated Tk3 crore for emergency flood relief to 52,000 families who are affected by the recent flooding situation in the country.
The non-governmental organization called upon everyone to come forward to deal with this humanitarian crisis, said a press release on Saturday.
According to Brac, the money will be used to provide dry food, safe drinking water, oral saline, matches, candles, essential medicines and other services to people affected by the flood and rescue the trapped.
For the relief effort, priority is being given to the women-led households, the elderly, pregnant women and people with physical and mental disabilities.
Brac has also decided to temporarily suspend loan recovery from borrowers in the flood-affected areas until further notice.
It has launched a public appeal for humanitarian aid as an estimated Tk25 crore will be required for emergency support and rebuilding efforts.
Asif Saleh, executive director of the organization, has called on all sections of the society to come forward and stand beside the vulnerable communities in the flood-affected areas.
Meanwhile, the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre said the flood situation in northeastern Sylhet, Sunamganj and Netrokona could worsen in the next 24 hours.
