Morshad, Khulna
Khulna, Bangladesh : “Before Aila I was a beggar. But now I am totally dependent on relief with my family. I am not suitable for begging now. Before Aila, I was living beside the road and now I am living on this terminal of Kopotakkho Nod. I am very poor. I had a tiny house and I have lost it because of Aila”. This is the voice of climate victim Morshad Gazi of Koyera in Khulna. His age is almost 75 and he lives just beside the Kopotakkho Nod with his family.
He told about the situation of Aila ,“I saw rain at first as usual and I did not care about this. After sometimes, I realized huge wind and storm. We faced Aila suddenly without any weather forecasting. Everybody was running on the road of Obdah to save life. The road sank into water .Many parents have lost their children because of flow tide of river at the time of Aila. My house sank in to water immediately”.
He added about climate fund, “I have got a certificate to take relief and I get rice showing this certificate of relief”.
Thus, people of all classes were dangerously affected by cyclone Aila without any discrimination. Huge people of Modinabag of Koyera are living beside the Kopotakkho Nod like Morshad Gazi and they are much more concerned about the issue of unexpected cyclone. They think that cyclone may come any time without any forecasting and destroy everything again.
