More than two months have passed since the devastating fire swept through the Korail slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh in November 2025.

A-PAD Bangladesh mobilized an emergency response team to provide life-saving assistance and essential care. Our team reached over 4,000 residents, distributing daily necessities including blankets, medicines, and providing free health checkups.

The emergency relief activity report is now available.
