Flood |
Bangladesh |
A considerable number of districts in Bangladesh have reported flooding during the past two days with Cox?s Bazar district badly affected. Seasonal floods were compounded by factors such as heavier rainfall, increase of tidal water level due to depression in the Bay of Bengal and overflow of water from areas upstream (the hills of India and Mayanmar). Around 300,000 people in Cox's Bazar district are reported to be marooned as the flood situation deteriorated. Many people have moved to cyclone shelters, school buildings while some seek refuge on the main roads along with families and livestock as rainwater has now entered into their houses. To date the area has suffered a loss of ten lives due to this year?s floods. |

Complex Emergency |
Sudan |
Following the contested elections in South Kordofan State results announcements, tensions built up between the main political parties (SPLM ? Sudan People?s Liberation Movement and NCP- National Congress Party) taking part in the elections with the SPLM candidate claiming widespread fraud. The rising political tension spilled out into active fighting on 5th of June, starting in Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan State and spreading throughout the state within days and affecting populations in 11 out of the 19 localities. The fighting, which involved use of both ground and air strikes, put thousands of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Estimates indicate more than 70,000 people are affected by this crisis and even as the situation is reportedly calming down it remains fragile and unpredictable . Within 10 days of the fighting populations affected are reported to have moved out of the conflict zones towards North Kordofan State (App. 18,500 People) and as far as to Khartoum State (App. 5,000 persons are reported to have arrived and settled in scattered shanty areas mainly Mayo, Umbada, and Haj Yousif in Khartoum). Looting and private property destruction of both civilians and humanitarian agencies was reported to be rampant during this period, making a population already vulnerable due to a long lasting conflict, even more so with little to use to meet their immediate needs and restore their livelihoods and a hampered humanitarian response to assist them. |
