In addition to major disasters, such as Cyclone Sidr, emergencies in Bangladesh are often on a relatively small scale. Localized flash floods, food shortages and violent storms are common. Whether the emergency effects hundreds or millions of people, women and children are always the most vulnerable.

During an emergency, UNICEF provides support in several key areas:



Safe water and hygiene

Food and supplies

Education and protection
