Comments:
A considerable number of districts in Bangladesh have reported flooding during the past two days with Cox?s Bazar district badly affected. Seasonal floods were compounded by factors such as heavier rainfall, increase of tidal water level due to depression in the Bay of Bengal and overflow of water from areas upstream (the hills of India and Mayanmar). Around 300,000 people in Cox's Bazar district are reported to be marooned as the flood situation deteriorated. Many people have moved to cyclone shelters, school buildings while some seek refuge on the main roads along with families and livestock as rainwater has now entered into their houses. To date the area has suffered a loss of ten lives due to this year?s floods.
