bKash has donated Tk 5.0 million to support households severely affected by the cyclone Remal, which battered the coastal areas on May 26. The cash assistance has been disbursed among 2,500 most affected families, says a press release.

Showing solidarity with the BRAC's initiative 'Bangladesh is calling', bKash has donated Tk 2,000 per family, which can ensure food for a family of four for two weeks.

The cyclone-affected families have directly received the amount in their respective bKash accounts and they can cash out from nearest bKash agent points without any charge.

Meanwhile, anyone from anywhere can donate in BRAC's 'Bangladesh is calling' initiative through 'Donation' of bKash app or directly to the merchant number- 01730321765.

The cyclone Remal and consequent tidal surge have affected millions of people in the coastal region, many of whom lost their homes partially or fully as well as lost crops and livestock.
