In the early hours of a tragic night, a massive fire swept through Korail, one of Dhaka’s largest informal settlements. Within minutes, more than 1,500 homes were reduced to ashes. Families fled with nothing but their children in their arms, watching helplessly as the flames destroyed their shelters, their belongings, and the memories they had built over years.

As dawn broke, thousands stood under the open sky — mothers searching for warmth, fathers searching for hope, and children trembling with fear and hunger. With winter approaching and no roofs over their heads, the need for urgent humanitarian support became critical.
