Cyclone victims are in immediate
need of potable drinking water as the cyclone has flooded tubewells
with saline water and also ruined surface water sources. Without
access to clean drinking water as well as proper sanitation
facilities, the risk of waterborne diseases has become critical,
especially for children. Currently, BRAC staff on the ground
providing immediate relief and medical care are distributing water
purification tablets to be used with pond water. Pond cleaning
drives and insertion of deep tube wells will also be initiated
following emergency relief. To alleviate the current potable water
crisis, BRAC is seeking assistance in procuring water desalinating
systems.
