Nearly one-third of Bangladesh is currently affected by flooding, leaving two million people needing help.
Many of those displaced are living in temporary shelters, while others are being forced to take refuge near highways or bridges.
More than 100 people have died so far. Health officials say thousands have fallen victim to water-borne diseases.
The government says it is prepared to deal with the situation.

Wow no views
Poor people…
My Sympathies.
@চন্দ্রনাথ চোধুরী
Sure, Mr. Billionare
Why does sympathising offend you?
@Ahmad Pathan He took offence probably because Bangladesh doesn’t be/g for funds unlike Pakistan
@চন্দ্রনাথ চোধুরী Hey illiterate here “poor” doesn’t mean financially poor but someone who is having a hard time.
And even after this situation, Bangladesh gave shelter to millions of Rohingya refugees. The world should learn from Bangladesh.
@guru Singh Your argument is like saying SriLankan Tamil is Indian or Iraqi is Saudi because they share commonality.
@guru Singh hey you fake id shut up
@Jack sparrow shutup bengluuu
@Sufi mubashshir Ahmed I know but Rohingya need to reunite with bengali bros.. what happened bengali and Rohingya brotherhood???
Bro how many Rohingya go to bhasan char
@guru Singh Rohingya are not Bengalis. By calling them Bengali,you are insulting us on a national scale while legitimizing the genocide. Go to Wikipedia and learn the history of the Arakan Kingdom. Personally I don’t like them but then again, they were stripped of their rights of education, healthcare and population control so I can’t exactly blame them for their condition. And this isn’t the first time Myanmar has sent somebody at our doors.This isn’t even the only ethnic minority they chased away. The Chakma people of Bangladesh also escaped their genocide in the 15th-16th century. They haven’t returned since.
I don’t like Bangladeshis because they are literally irritating to talk with.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
There’s floods happening at the same time in different parts of the world. It’s a tragedy while the Corona Virus Pandemic is rising.
@Levi
Well It’s God’s Time…People have to repent coz second coming is near
*This golden land of Bengal🇧🇩 suffered from floods, cyclones, wars and invasions for thousands for years.* Every year some kind of disaster hits us. But people in this country are strong. We stood up in the next day becoming more stronger. Bengal Stood against Maratha invasions, British oppression of 200 years, genocide of 3 million people by Pakistani army in 1971. They looted our wealth but they couldn’t take our courage from us.
Marathas were not Invaders brainwashed Miya
@Nouman Qureshi Prophet Muhammad salelahu walaihuwasalam is the last messenger of Allah. Understand? If you don’t believe that prophet Muhammad salelahu walaihuwasalam is the last messenger then you’re not a Muslim. And,most importantly Islam has no sector.
Nouman Qureshi just jealous aren’t yoy
If the land is golden why are u all black people? I think u guys are migrants from tamil nadu or something
@Nouman Qureshi unlike you, our economy is actually going somewhere. Your country is older than ours, looted it of its wealth and intellectuals. And look where it is. It’s GDP nominal is higher than yours
Do hazar atra hei desh KO khatra hei Bangladesh Zindabad
Sorry Bangladesh from pakistn for doing your genocide in 1971
@Talha Tain lemme send you list of terrorist organisation of just 1 country. My islamic country pakistn.
@Talha Tain now tell me are all these terrorist organisation of pakistan working for usa?
@Talha Tain you haven’t read history of islam.
Islam have been spread by swords and blood.
@radicalmuslim jihadi stop hating on others. Learn to tolerate other religions. Be a peaceful.
Your a fake account your an Indian get a life.
The public toilet just got bigger, and for free!
This isnt india.
@Johan Bee Bangladesh has poor sanitation than india
@Harsh Agarwal are you sure about that because I am pretty sure Bangladesh has way less poor people than India
@Harsh Agarwal no dumb dumb do some actual research and see what it correct.
Floods due to India opening its dams, such a disaster could be totally avoidable!
@abdullah tousif Eid Mubarak
@abdullah tousif sediments are in Ganga not Brahmaputra And most flood happens in Brahmaputra
And floods are occurring in plain Of Bihar ,Bengal, Assam since ancient time
When there were no dams
Look up news. .. bihar and Assam flooded…but we don’t complain.
Only China has built dams on Brahmaputra and this flooding ces from Brahmaputra. So blame China.
Tibet is under Chinese control
Our government is reluctant to provide support these poor peoples.
Nasty nasty part of the World
Which part of the world are you from nutter
@tiffany b uh oh – triggered POS
@TISH KerrVille Hahaha,, arent u the homeless guy peeing in US?
Random Useless Videos
*No we live in proper homes with toilets and clean streets not like Bangladesh*
@Proger13 11 hahaha thousands of homeless streets and u r one of them
I think as long as the scammers are high and dry, the GDP there will remain ok.
@Lightning Bolt interesting and how do you know this?
😂😂😂u clapped u got wrong country mate
@realpqleur watch the documentaries, where all the scammers are traced back to india
@Lightning Bolt it’s like watching the documentaries that say the left isn’t violent.
@realpqleur you must be those people who believe govt is run by lizard people
Poor poverty ridden people. Cry a river
Do cutting goat make any changes or making sevage and proper plan
@Baby Sama 48 eat anything I daam care we also eat pork
I am talking about eid as your book you should sacrifice the thing which is close to you not the goat or cow you bought last night
@Baby Sama 48 plz Bengali bandhu, we Nepalese also feel bad when u say u eat cow. We worship cow. We both don’t like India. Bengali & Nepali r brothers. But plz don’t bring cow in between. U guys can counter india on different issue. Plz. & tq🇳🇵🇳🇵🇧🇩🇧🇩🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇧🇩🇧🇩🙏🙏🙏
@Bhumi putra
Oky bro , I was replying to that Indian so 😆
Didn’t mean to hurt your sentiments .
@Akarsh Tiwari
What has Eid got to do with floods .
Eid is like a festival to us , we sacrifice animals to feed ourself .
Do you think Indians send us our animals for food .
It is twice a year only .
Floods are also every year .
Both China and India need to stop building dams and destroy the Nature
@Baby Sama 48 Nepali & Bengali r bandhu bandhu. From Nepalese, amii tumhi bhalo basso bandhu. We should come on one place with one idea to counter these expansanist. Hope nature can flow on its own path. Stop making dams and barrages on indo-bengali boarder & India – Nepal boarder. Got it Indians. Tq🇳🇵🇳🇵🇧🇩🇧🇩🇳🇵🇳🇵❤️❤️💐💐
একটা হারামি সরকার
This illegal government and its branches do not support people and plundering the state in every way…..
Misd you Bangladesh
Bangladesh should export flood waters to saudi arabia and in return recieve oil.
India helped Bangladesh in The War of Liberation in 1971 for her own sake so that she could save her own existence from Two Pakistans, East and West…Now Bangladesh is free but India is trying to dominate this country
@rohan chowdhury they don’t try to dominate anyone like u
@Please help me reach 10 subscribers without a video my comment itched you, r8? however my words are itchy
@rohan chowdhury for Pakistanis only West Punjab is real Pakistan and Baluchistan ,Sindh ,Gilgit Baltistan, Kashmir are Just colonies
You people were shifting Punjabi Covid patients to Gilgit baltistan so that Punjabi peopel remain safe ,
You people did ethnic cleansing of Native Kashmiris from Kashmir and Established Punjabis there
Gilgit askes for freedom from west Punjab
@rohan chowdhury you people want to build dam in Gilgit Baltistan for Punjabi people use
Rascals
Bangladesh, overpopulated dirty and nasty part of the world

1 third of Bangladesh is drowned. It is the worst flood ever happened in our country.
It doesn’t reach such level usually
Lol, he doesn’t know about south asian FLOOD.
I c u are u stupid or sommah? Half these people can’t afford to build a house forget raised houses and flood proofing them. Don’t talk if you don’t know you just look stupid
@Maliha Rahman it has been drowning since Ancient Times due to its geo Graphy I hope u studied it
India at it’s best Flooding Khalistan and Bangladesh at worst time
How about converting that gurudwara
Very bad action
Where is Iran, helping another Muslim country instead funding terrorism.
@Fracking Saves Sorry dude Iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world. Can’t fool the world. Crawl back under your rock you Marxist wannabe.
Where is islamic turkey helping an islamic country
@Edmond Papa being a bigot is evidently all your god can do.
@Edmond Papa GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
Fracking Saves what USA Benefited in Kosovo Iraq and Afghanistan is nothing

Where’s their Allah? Oh, that’s right, it’s an imaginary god.
guru Singh turbanitor. Where’s guru Nanak or did he get lost in his hair he ain’t allowed to shave🤣

@Ahsan H you are right bro I am sorry.. forgive me allah waheguru plzzz… labaik labaik labaik ya rasool allah la labaik labaik… why do muslim clerics keep beard ?
guru Singh too keep their necks warm
@guru Singh why do muslim clerics keep beard ?
That’s where they wipe their hands.
All the financial help that goes there from other countries don’t reach to the poor victims, because of the corrupted government. This is an open secret.
I believe it.
Hope everything will be fine in Bangladesh soon
No,i am sure it will not.
@ANIISH KUMAR letz pray for the whole recovery of the world from these disasters and pandemic.
I just Love flood 🤩🤩🤩..
Miss you Bangladesh. Next year promise i will be there with you…Catching fish to flood “”OMG it’s very existed moment for me🤩🤩🤩
@Naiem Chan bro this is not new for us. we r celebrating flood every year and how look like show in madia actually not like that.yeah some people has very poor condition but you need to know this is under foreign policy. GV has benefits for this show
@Passha Miah some people the amount of suffering is massive. You might don’t care but you’re parents neighbors have to face crop damage which can lead to no food for a long time. Everyone suffers look around you. Stop being an entitled narcissist!
@Naiem Chan Trust me bro,,, Who has suffering flood they’re good better then others monsoon…Look bro I know about bangladesh,coz I am from bangladesh.. I don’t know about others but Bangladesh one of the country has lot lot lot of natural resources…example you don’t have food!!! no problem you can catch from the rivers,,vegetables don’t have get from the field,Chicken don’t have no problem have some pet..not one day one time never feed anything Neighbors asking you take some food from me.I tell you one last secret about bangladasis is it bangladasi one poor families better then one middleclass families right now..
What an idiot
@Ahsan H Hey punjabi late colonial master of Bengalis I think you never lived in Village
Sink it in
Bangladesh is smaller than Tunisia, and has 165 million people. Or 15 times more than Tunisia
It is overpopulated
@Naiem Chan, But history tells Different story.
@Naiem Chan
I know that, since Russia had catastrophic losses in last 100 years, during WW1, Russian civili war, Stalin purges, WW2, and demographic stagnation since 1991, that is why Russia has only 146 million people
Bangladesh people on the other hand is doing nothing but reproducing.
In 1900 population of Russia was 170 million, and Bangladesh 25 million
@Simon Simonović I was just trying to give a perspective
There is nothing odd about it. Population corresponds to how much a land can hold and our land is immensely fertile. Dotted with numerous sources of water and an almost universally flat land that is almost entirely arable, Bangladesh has always throughout its history has had large populations. Westerners with a Malthusian bent always point towards our population as a source of (there is always a racist undertone) our poverty, completely ignoring the fact that our population has historically made our region one of the most prosperous in the world in the pre-industrialized (Bengal Subah during the Mughal era made up around 12% of global GDP) world. Economies are built by people and our population is thus a strength. Stop obsessing over our population. Comparing it with a country bordering the north pole and filled with tundras and taigas is just misleading, wrong and unfair.
And FYI, we’re quite self-sufficient in terms of food production. Clearly, we haven’t overburdened this small silver that we inhabit.
@Spoiler Sama
Yes, you have a large sources of water, you are flat and almost entirely arable…
But there are many other examples of such countries, which do not have that many people…
It is not because of that your population is 165 million
It is because you are living in peace, without wars for a very long time. So you did not have a large demographic losses due to wars in last 100 years, unlike countries like Russia or Ukraine which lost tens of millions of people during WW1, WW2, civil wars and many other things…
I am Bangladeshi. My house is affected by flood 😭😭😭
Hello, this is Ralph. Would you like to go for a coffee together ☕? Cucumbers on me🥒
@No Wrong then leave india , you entered illegally no one will help you if you are illegally enter other country
@No Wrong in india or Bangladesh which city or town?
Prayers for you
@madone 05 Shut up, insensitive imbecile.
As long as India is on our list of friends, we will not have to drown in the flood waters or be shot at the border.
@Mark Ciri
There is no question of religion here. You will see since the last independence. How many helpless Bangladeshis have been shot dead by the Indian Border Guard on the Bangladesh and India border. Which is not the case in any other country in the world. Farakka talks about the dam, turning off the water in winter and turning the country into the desert of India. But when the rainy season comes, all the water leaves for Bangladesh.
@WORLD SPORTS LIVE HD first you answer me why you guys illegally enter in india when you have sovereign country ?? Why you guys not artificially change river flow as we did in south india to save from flood and dump water in ocean ?? Is blaming idia in every issue will solve your problems ??
@WORLD SPORTS LIVE HD brother dam or no dam or barrage Bangladesh will flood always its mother nature.. anyway I wish u guys best and safety
@guru Singh I know brother but some issue not for only us
@WORLD SPORTS LIVE HD but most of the water is coming from bhramputra there is no dam or barrage there
Bangladesh is very rich compared to north india. Flood is a hurdle, they will solve it.
@yennefer of vengerberg why calculate the statistics are already available online. And what u consider north india is not considered north by most indians.. south, central, north east and far north are the regions
@First name Last name that person is a real idiot. If just 1 state in the entire country has a gdp per captia less than 700$ then how can the entire north be a gdp per captia of 700.. and that one state is considered to be north east or central state of bihar.. I’m north indian so it angers me but hes a broke Bangladeshi so oh well
@guru Singh relax guys.. I’ve never seen anyone change their opinion or lose an argument on YouTube.. only argue on YouTube as long as you’re having fun otherwise you’re banging your head against the wall.. Cheers 🙃
@guru Singh india doesnt have west, west got cut off. just calculate everything above maharastra and say what the figure is. Are you scared the figure is gonna look bad ? lol
@yennefer of vengerberg I’m not gonna waste my time calculating all populations and getting the exact number.. but if Bangladesh is so rich why are millions illegal bengalis in india ??? You want a real proven fact. The entire GDP of Delhi region is greater than all of Bangladeshs GDP… Delhi is north India.. an entire city has a GDP higher than a whole country of 200M 😂😂😂
Get on the boat bengali I think Indonesia is open again for you
I am a Bangladeshi citizen. I live in Faridpur district. Our habitat has been submerged due to natural calamities. Houses have been destroyed. Now our survival is a matter of cost. We can’t get food. We are not getting pure water. Children are being affected by various diseases every day. No one is helping us. Pray for us so that we may live.
Sorry I can’t speak English well.
I live in the village😥😥😥😥
Allah Pak Bangli baiyon ke maded Kare ..Ameen…🇵🇰🇧🇩🇵🇰
@JAYED hasan I pray for you, your family and our entire country, brother!
@A B yes and bengali indians have huge effect on that. I’m not mentioning any country just bengali people in general.. but I dont mean any negative feeling brother. Maybe things are changing in Bangladesh now
@guru Singh haha bro i do not blame you. Back then there was a culture in rural Bangladesh to have more kids as people had more farming lands and were able to provide for bigger families. Also having more sons means you dont have to worry about your old age. Things will get taken care of.
Thats how we have bigger population now but the growth rate is slowed.
@Tarbela KTS. Ameen
so sad Bangladesh
Allah help you Bangladesh
So sad don’t worry india will help you guys to recover Pray hard 🙏
Bangladeshi hate us and blaming us for this flood without any reason , should we help them ??
@Mark Ciri thx for not helping
Shut up, India isn’t helping Bangladesh. Are you some kind of dumb and delusional guy?
Politicians, always paying lip service to problems so that they can steal more money.
They just don’t care.

Allah Help us

Shut up IDIOT !
That’s what happens when you eat GMO food. Can you count 1 to 10 backwards? I knew it………keep smoking
Bangladesh government is useless, only thing it has managed to do is turn the country into a borderline autocracy. This flooding happens every year and it only gets worse as time goes on. The government not only does not push to eco friendly development but also does not build power embankments and floodwalls/gates to deal with the flooding.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Bangladesh has to much of something that is precious. Water.
this is cold digital bangladesh?
Our prime ministr dont think about her own countrys people. He only. Think for indian people. And now india helping ous with watar.

How Is India responsible for flood?
Farakka badh is barrage not a Dam
