We are deeply saddened by the destruction caused by the recent floods in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and its impact on the Bangladeshi people. Glad to see assistance is getting to those in need as USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance works closely w/ partners to provide vital support in the affected areas.
