Massive Flooding in Bangladesh... 300,000 Evacuated, 42 Dead
Massive flooding in Bangladesh has forced approximately 300,000 people to evacuate to emergency shelters.
On the 24th (local time), according to AFP and AP reports, heavy rains poured across Bangladesh, causing rivers to overflow and landslides to occur, resulting in ongoing damage. The floods have reportedly caused 42 deaths in both Bangladesh and India.
In particular, about 5 million residents of Bangladesh are isolated as rivers overflow and wash away embankments. Additionally, the highway connecting Chittagong, Bangladesh's second-largest city, and the capital Dhaka was destroyed, disrupting various logistics movements.
Kamrul Hasan, Bangladesh's Minister of Disaster Management, stated, "Approximately 5 million residents have been affected, with 285,000 people living in emergency shelters."
