Flooding in Bangladesh
Days of heavy rain at the beginning of monsoon season caused widespread flooding in North Eastern Bangladesh, leaving millions stranded and vast areas affected.
The country's Flood Forecasting and Warning Center reported major rivers in the two northeastern districts of Sylhet and Sunamganj to be swollen to dangerously high levels because of heavy downpours.
The government deployed members of the armed forces across the region to speed up flood rescue and relief efforts. The flooding came shortly after a pre-monsoon flood that badly affected the same northeastern region just a month previously, submerging 70% of Sylhet and 60% of neighboring Sunamganj, leaving at least 10 people dead and more than 2 million stranded.
