Seven districts, including Chattogram and Cox's Bazar, have been severely affected, with the capital Dhaka recording its highest rainfall in a 24-hour period. Cox's Bazar, which hosts over a million Rohingya refugees, has reported 28 fatalities, with authorities having previously relocated residents from high-risk areas. The Bangladeshi government has mobilised disaster response teams, distributing relief, safe drinking water, and medical supplies, and deploying army and navy personnel for aid delivery. Rescue and relief efforts are being hindered by power outages, damaged roads, and broken communication links, with climate change cited as a factor in the increasing intensity of such extreme weather events.
