Algerian Ambassador distributes relief among flood-affected families

Algerian Ambassador to Bangladesh Dr. Abdelouahab Saïdani, distributed relief supplies among flood-affected and vulnerable families in Satkania upazila of Chattogram on Saturday.

The relief distribution programme was held at Keochia Muzaherul Haque Islamia Dakhil Madrasa in Keochia Union. The assistance was provided to families facing severe hardship as a result of the recent flooding in the area, says a press release.

During the programme, Ambassador Saïdani personally handed over relief bags containing essential supplies to affected residents. He expressed his sympathy and solidarity with the families and emphasised the importance of supporting vulnerable communities during natural disasters and humanitarian emergencies.

Ambassador Saïdani is regarded as one of the first foreign ambassadors to personally visit the flood-affected areas and distribute relief supplies directly among affected families. His presence on the ground reflected a strong commitment to humanitarian assistance and solidarity with communities facing the consequences of the flooding.

Following the relief distribution programme in Chattogram, Ambassador Saïdani travelled to the Matarbari area of Cox's Bazar, where he also distributed relief supplies among families affected by the flooding. His visit to both areas demonstrated his commitment to reaching vulnerable communities and providing immediate humanitarian assistance to those in need.

Flood-affected residents expressed their sincere appreciation for the Algerian Ambassador's humanitarian initiative. They said the relief supplies would help them meet their immediate needs and cope with the difficulties caused by the flooding.

The initiative reflected the longstanding friendship between Algeria and Bangladesh and demonstrated Algeria's humanitarian concern for communities affected by natural disasters in Bangladesh.
