IR has already been involved with organisations such as United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Food Programme (WFP) and UNICEF, has helped around 95,000 affected families to date.

Individually IR has helped 19,357 families in 50 villages in the districts of Bagerhat, Patuakhali, Jhalokhathi and Chandpur, by providing them with food and other essential items such as candles, matches and polythene sheets, as well as giving medical assistance to around 2,700 people in the region.

On December 10 2007 IR began to carry out early recovery assessments with UNDP, taking individual responsibility for the Jhalokhathi and Patuakhali districts. The assessments will be finished at the end of the month and will enable the organisations to decide how best to help the 10,000 targeted families.
