Bangladesh and Assam floods, 2022
I hope most of you have heard about the floods affecting Bangladesh and Assam (India) since the beginning of this month (June, 2022)... If not, here are some pictures:
আশা করি আপনারা অনেকেই বাংলাদেশ আর আসাম (ভারত)-এ এই মাসের (জুন, ২০২২) শুরু থেকে যে বন্যা হচ্ছে তার বিষয়ে শুনেছেন... যদি না শুনে থাকেন তবে এখানে কিছু ছবি রয়েছে:
Bangladesh বাংলাদেশ 🇧🇩:
Assam, India আসাম, ভারত 🇮🇳:
This happens every year, thanks to monsoons, global warming and lack of proper management by the authorities. Although the governments are doing it's best to provide relief to the affected families (many are perished, millions have become homeless), I think it's our duty to help in whatever way we can.
বর্ষা, বৈশ্বিক উষ্ণতা বৃদ্ধি এবং কর্তৃপক্ষের যথাযথ ব্যবস্থার অভাবের কারণে প্রতি বছরই এটা ঘটে। যদিও সরকারগুলো ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত পরিবারকে ত্রাণ দেওয়ার জন্য সর্বোত্তম চেষ্টা করছে (অনেকে মারা গেছেন, লক্ষ লক্ষ গৃহহীন হয়েছে), আমি মনে করি যে যথাসম্ভব সাহায্য করা আমাদের কর্তব্য।
So, if possible, I request you guys to donate whatever is possible and help our brothers and sisters of Bangladesh and Assam. If not, at least reblog so others can read this. Thank you🙏🙏🙏
তাই, যদি সম্ভব হয়, আমি আপনাদের কাছে অনুরোধ করছি যে যা পারেন দান করুন এবং আমাদের বাংলাদেশ ও আসামের ভাই-বোনদের সাহায্য করুন। যদি না হয়, অন্তত রিব্লগ করুন যাতে অন্যরা এটা পড়তে পারে। ধন্যবাদ 🙏🙏🙏

COVID-19 fuels the threat of global famine
The pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity around the world. The World Food Program is short of resources to alleviate hunger.
Conflicts, climate change and now COVID-19 are the three C’s driving 270 million people to famine in the most impoverished countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Central and Latin America. Officials at the World Food Program (WFP), the hunger relief arm of the United Nations that feeds about a hundred million people each year in some 88 countries, warned that they are running out of resources to meet the demand for staple foods and thus prevent people dying from starvation.
“We are asking globally $13.5 billion for our budget this year, but we forecast being able to raise only about $7.8 billion,” said Steve Taravella, WFP’s senior spokesperson at a briefing organized by Ethnic Media Services on Feb. 26.
Before the pandemic, there were about 135 million people acutely hungry in the world, but the collateral economic impacts of the virus have doubled that number. WFP estimates that in 2021, about 19,000 officials working in developing countries will have to duplicate efforts to serve at least 120 million people, in hardest-hit places like Yemen, South Sudan, Nigeria and Burkina Faso.
“For some years WFP and others working on global hunger were really effective in bringing hunger down to what we hoped would be the zero hunger goal of the UN by 2030. It’s pretty clear now, that’s not going to happen,” Taravella said. “COVID is making the poorest of the world poorer and the hungriest of the world hungrier.”
WFP won the Nobel Peace Prize last year for its efforts to eradicate hunger in areas where natural disasters and conflict have disrupted normal food distribution channels. Areas where bombed roads prevent trucks carrying flour, rice, lentils, peas, cooking oil and salt from getting through. Areas where airstrikes destroy planes carrying dietary supplies. Areas where incessant fighting prevents hungry people from venturing out for food or aid workers from moving safely to provide it, at a time when crops cannot be harvested.
“There have been terrorist acts against villagers and aid workers by Al-Qaeda Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram and ISIS,” Taravella said. Recently, a WFP staff member was killed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo while accompanying the Italian ambassador on a visit to a school feeding site.
WFP provides school meals in the classrooms, helps pregnant women and new mothers to understand nutrition, and supports small farmers to find markets for their produce.
“We work very closely with governments but we see ourselves there only as a temporary band-aid. Our goal is to help build the country’s capacity to manage the programs,” said Taravella.
Although the WFP does not operate food banks in the United States, immigrants in the country have contributed greatly to alleviating hunger in their homelands after natural disasters such as the typhoon that devastated the Philippines or the hurricanes in Central America. But COVID has also impacted remittances.
Devastating hurricanes
“When COVID hit, we were really hoping that the hurricane season will be a quiet one as we had a few years ago, but that was not the case,” said Elio Rujano, communications officer for the WFP’’s regional bureau for Central America and the Caribbean.
The 2020 season produced 30 named storms, of which 13 became hurricanes, six of them devastating in scope. Eta and Iota ravaged areas in Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua while tropical storm Amanda hit El Salvador. Since 2014, these countries have already been experiencing prolonged periods of droughts or excessive rains caused by the El Niño phenomenon, both causing the destruction of crops and the livelihood of farmer families.
“In the past we were only focusing on the dry corridor where rural farmers live, but now, because of the pandemic, hunger has expanded to urban areas,” Rujano said from his Panama City office. “50% of the labor in Latin America and Central America is informal labor. People work on the streets, and since they could no longer go out, they couldn’t meet their basic needs.”
Back in 2018, hunger in the region was affecting 2.2 million people and that number is approaching nearly 8 million in 2021.
Here WFP works to support communities to become more resilient to climate change. They teach them to replace the plantation of fragile products such as beans and maize with beekeeping, since honey can be stored for longer periods. They also provide people with cash transfers to buy food at local shops and teach them about nutrition.
Rujano estimates that they could serve up to 2.6 million people this year if they reach $47 millions in donations to reach that population.
Malnourished children in Yemen
Although the situation in Central America is worrying, in places like Yemen where conflict is the main driver of the hunger crisis, the figures are even more chilling. Since the end of 2018, this country has been described as the home of the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Six years of war between the Houthi rebels who control the north of the country and the nationally recognized government dominating the south, have devastated infrastructure, destroyed agricultural land, eroded government services and left the healthcare system on its knees.
About 4 million people out of a population of 30 have become internal refugees while food prices are on average 140 times higher than before the war.
“The hunger situation right now in Yemen has hit a new peak,” said Annabel Symington, head of communications for the WFP in Yemen. “The forecast for 2021 is that 50,000 people are already living in famine like conditions, another 5 million are at severe risk of falling into famine and about 11 million people are facing crisis levels of food insecurity,” she added.
Famine occurs when malnutrition is so widespread that people are literally starving from lack of access to nutritious regular food.
WFP assists more than 12 million people in Yemen – its world’s largest operation – delivering flour, pulses, oil, sugar and salt, as well as canned goods for those who do not have immediate access to kitchen equipment such as the case of the internal displaced people.
The conflict has contributed to nearly half of all children under the age of 5 in Yemen facing acute malnutrition, which not only affects their physical and cognitive development, but puts them at risk of death. 11.2 million pregnant or breastfeeding mothers are also malnourished and according to Symington these numbers can be an underestimate.
Mothers are resorting to desperate measures to survive: either they eat less to feed their children or they must choose which of their kids eat.
After COVID, death rates skyrocketed, but as the testing capacity is limited, it is unknown for sure how many people contracted the virus. “The lockdown was lifted quite early because people will starve if they stay at home,” Symington said.
“It is clear that peace is what Yemen needs so we can address the food crisis,” she added.
Migrants in India
In India, the country with the highest number of food insecure people due to its large population (1.3 billion inhabitants), the pandemic worsened the living conditions for domestic migrants.
Almost 139 million people move from rural areas to large cities to work in informal jobs in factories or as street vendors. The coronavirus forced them to go back to their villages, and since transportation was not working, they had to move by foot, facing not only long hours of walking but hunger. The pandemic also disrupted the harvesting season in March and April affecting food supply chains.
“Although the restrictions (due to the pandemic) have been eased out and these people came back to the cities, there are very few jobs due to the economic slowdown,” said from New Delhi Parul Sachdeva, country advisor in India for Give2Asia, an NGO that supports grassroots organizations in 23 countries in Asia Pacific.
“Today 8 in 10 people are eating less food than before the pandemic and nearly 1 in 3 people face moderate or severe food insecurity.”
The government approved a package of US $22.6 billion for the distribution of staple foods during four months and cash transfers of $ 500 rupees (US $ 7) for up to three months. But informal workers were left out of the package, forcing civil society organizations to support those returning to their villages with meals, health supplies and shelter.
Organizations like Akshaya Patra distributed 1.8 million meals a day to children across India. GIve2Asia is now working on economic rehabilitation through training and input costs for agriculture.
“These are the kind of activities we wish to promote,” Sachdeva added. “I think they provide some kind of solution for livelihood regeneration in a country like ours,” she concluded.

Church, groups appeal for donations to help 'Rolly' victims
#PHnews: Church, groups appeal for donations to help 'Rolly' victims
MANILA – The Catholic Church and its affiliated groups appealed for help for the victims of Super Typhoon Rolly that swept through the Bicol Region and other parts of Luzon over the weekend.
In an advisory Tuesday, Caritas Manila, the social action arm of the Archdiocese of Manila, said donations, particularly cash donations, they will receive would be sent to five dioceses in Bicol.
“Cash donations at this time of crisis will truly help meet the initiatives of the Church in providing for their immediate needs. Caritas Manila will be sending financial assistance to the following Dioceses: Diocese of Caceres, Diocese of Daet, Diocese of Gumaca, Diocese of Legazpi and Diocese of Virac,” it said.
Aside from sending cash donations directly, Caritas Manila would also use these to buy relief items such as manna food bags, shelter materials, clean water, bedding materials, hygiene items. These would then be sent to the victims of the typhoon.
The faithful can give donations through the following platforms:

Fr. Neil Tenefrancia. "The said collection, however, will be voluntary and subject to the pastoral discretion of the parish priests, moderators, and chaplains in view of the financial constraints that our faithful are currently facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic.”

“As we join forces in prayer, let us also be united in service to our sisters and brothers who are affected by Typhoon Rolly. Your donations will allow us to reach a greater number of people affected by the typhoon, especially those who are underserved,” it said in a statement.

YouTube and Tribeca’s global online film festival starts today
Today, the online film festival We Are One is kicking off 10 days of films, talks, musical performances and VR experiences.
The event is a collaboration between Tribeca Enterprises (the organization behind the Tribeca Film Festival) and YouTube, with help from 21 film festivals from around the world.
Think of it as an attempt to recreate a little bit of the excitement of this year’s canceled festivals, and to showcase some of the films that would have screen there. Partner festivals include the Berlin International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
YouTube Chief Business Officer Robert Kyncl credited Tribeca for doing the “heavy lifting” of bringing all the festivals on-board and curating the lineup. He said that when the organization’s co-founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal first approached YouTube with the idea, “It sounded great to us, but it seemed impossible to actually execute — to get all of these important people around the world to agree to this one thing.”
However, Rosenthal and her team were able to pull it everything together in a short period of time, so YouTube is doing its part by giving the festival its online home. There will be more than 100 films screening on a schedule, just like a regular festival — although after many of the movies premiere, they will be available on-demand for the duration of the event.
youtube
And again, it’s not just films, but the other festival programming too, like Tribeca Talks with directors like Guillermo del Toro and Francis Ford Coppola. YouTube channels like Lessons from the Screenplay, CineFix, Now You See It and La Blogotheque have also gotten involved by creating new content for the event.
All the content is available for free, and Kyncl said that neither YouTube nor Tribeca are monetizing the event. Instead, they’re directing viewers to donate to COVID-19 relief efforts, including the World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNHCR, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, Leket Israel, GO Foundation and Give2Asia.
“We just see this as an immediate response with no commercial intent on our side,” he said.
And while We Are One was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kyncl sounds hopeful that YouTube could help to create similar online festivals in the future — though he hastened to add that online experiences will never fully replace the “human connection” of an in-person festival.
“The role that youTube can play for all the festivals in the future is, we can extend their reach … whether it’s creators who may be participants in their film festivals in the future, or just audiences who are absolutely participating, but I think we can expand their universe in any way they wish,” Kyncl said. At the same time, he added, “We’ve given zero thought given to it thus far. We’re all focused on making sure we can pull this off in a short amount of time.”
