Cyclone Bulbul hit Khulna shortly after we arrived at the hotel, and although it had abated somewhat after crossing land, it still came with torrential downpours and destructive gusts of wind. Streets were flooded, sheets of roofing torn off, and there were multiple power outages. Over 2 million people were evacuated.
One day's distribution was postponed, and completed the following day. As the path of the cyclone tracked through all the places we were scheduled to go, the SKD team had to reorganize their plans. Some sites became unavailable in the short term, but we completed the distribution of 6,232 bedkits.
The remaining 1,768 will be distributed at two sites later in November. Stay tuned!
