Current Situation
Bangladesh
Severe flooding and landslides in Bangladesh has washed away Rohingya refugee camps having killed over ten and displacing over 10,000 people in the past few days. Heavy monsoon has caused severe damage not only to shelters but as well as crops and aquaculture. Over the next few days, heavy rainfall is expected throughout the region.
India
A series of cloudbursts has led to widespread rain across the northern plains of India causing over hundreds of deaths and thousands evacuated. Regions of India have reported record breaking rainfall in one day, with an expected increase. Hundreds of family have been displaced with severe damages to homes, and increase in sickness.
