Food security and Livelihood: Affected major portion of the people are from poor and pro-poor community. All of them now have less scope to get some daily labor job. Usually where they use to do work, all points are closed for flash flood. They can run at least three days without doing work by their savings, but they face struggle in fourth day. Here is a demand to create work scope for the poorest for the next four months(cash for work-village road construction).it can creates a scope to daily earn which will be a great help for them on the context of food security and lively hood.

Every union Parishad allocated 10000 BDT.Govt. Officials are observing the situation. It seems the allocation is not sufficient especially for the poorest community.uz admin verbally requested to all NGOs to provide support for the affected poor as their level best where needed in their project working area. Flood Shelter Roads are under water Some where the water height is 3 feet, some where the water hight is 4-5 feet and some where the water hight is 6-8 feet. Water level is decreasing and again increasing due to nonstop rainfall for monsoon air flow presense.way of water out is just blocked due to fishing project done by powerful and influential figures.
