Nippon Express Bangladesh Ltd. (hereinafter "NX Bangladesh"), a group company of NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC., distributed food and medical supplies, and conducted other relief efforts to assist parts of eastern Bangladesh affected by rain-driven flooding.
Heavy rains in Bangladesh that began in mid-August caused extensive flood damage across the country’s eastern region, impacting more than 5.8 million people. Highways and railway networks were damaged, and some areas saw mobile networks and other communications disrupted, leaving more than one million people isolated in locales cut off by the floodwaters.
NX Bangladesh carried out a relief distribution program in the six sub-districts of Feni District, one of the hardest-hit districts. Four employees transported relief supplies to areas lacking clean water and food due to flooded roads. Working with residents, they provided foodstuffs, emergency medicines, oral rehydration solution, drinking water, and other supplies to approximately 100 households. NX Bangladesh will continue helping to improve the lives of locals through various initiatives.
The entire NX Group sincerely hopes that the disaster-stricken areas will recover and rebuild as soon as possible, and it remains committed to fulfilling its responsibility for social development by connecting people, companies, and communities.
