Study finds nearly three in four climate-displaced families in Satkhira are food insecure

A study conducted by KHANI Bangladesh and PRAAN found that 74.9 percent of families in Satkhira slums displaced by climate disasters are severely food insecure. The research, which covered 1,341 members of 358 families, was presented in Satkhira on October 14, 2026. The study noted that only 7.5 percent of these displaced families receive coverage from government social safety net programmes.

The findings highlight that commitments made under the National Strategy on the Management of Disaster and Climate-Induced Internal Displacement 2021 have not reached these displaced families five years after its adoption. The lack of coverage by government social safety net programmes raises concerns about systemic failures in national policy and funding.
