Floods in Bangladesh kill 44, leave over a million stranded
Army and navy crews are ferrying food and water to isolated communities as damaged roads and power outages slow relief efforts.
- On Saturday, July 11, torrential monsoon rains triggered floods and landslides across southeastern Bangladesh, killing at least 44 people and leaving over one million stranded as authorities raced to deliver aid.
- The flooding disrupted life across seven districts including Chattogram and Cox's Bazar, while heavy rains triggered separate landslides in Rohingya refugee camps earlier this week, killing 16 people.
- Relief Minister Iqbal Hossain stated, "The government is doing everything possible to support flood victims," as 267,918 households face isolation due to washed-out roads and damaged bridges hindering aid delivery.
- Army personnel are ferrying food, drinking water, and medical supplies by boat to isolated communities, though power outages and broken communication links continue slowing rescue operations.
- Scientists say climate change is making extreme rainfall more frequent and intense, increasing disaster severity as makeshift shelters on deforested hillsides in Bangladesh remain especially vulnerable during monsoon seasons.
