Dhaka, Bangladesh (HRNW) – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has activated anticipatory action and shock-responsive social protection for communities facing severe flooding in Bangladesh. WFP says 75,000 people in Bandarban district have received cash assistance ahead of worsening flood risks, allowing vulnerable families to prepare before the peak of the emergency. The initiative reflects a growing UN focus on acting before disasters strike rather than waiting for their impacts to escalate.
