#AmphanCycloneUpdate
Amphan - a super-cyclone that made a landfall in the Southern part of the state of West Bengal, India, has wreaked unprecedented havoc on nearly 13 million people. In a matter of few hours, forests, crops, lands and over 1.5 million houses were completely destroyed, impacting 21,560 sq km of land area and breaching river embankments completely. The cyclone whipped right through the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, and the districts of North and South 24 Paraganas. These areas are now left without drinking water, food, livelihood and habitation. The calamity has struck at a time when India reported its 100 thousandth case of COVID19 infection.
As COVID19 broke out in Bengal, Nishat Sultana started to help out first her neighbourhood, then her area, and then she realized the massive impact of the virus. The families, she and her friend - Afsar Ali, have tried to help grew from 10 to 100 in a matter of weeks. And then on 20 May, the supercyclone Amphan hit home hard, and Nishat had to double up capacity through her friends and family to support as many people as she could.
iPledge is a group of friends who have been working on supporting migrant labours stuck during the COVID19 outbreak. We have realized that Bengal needs our support now. iPledge is committed to supporting Nishat in providing essentials like food ration, soaps, disinfectants, medicines, clean drinking water, sanitary napkins, etc. to the hardest-hit areas every day. Your contribution of INR 650 will help to feed one family for one week.
Help us to support humanity in this hour of loss and destruction.
