Flood in Bangladesh
Heavy rain has caused floods in the north and central regions of Bangladesh, affecting more than twenty of the country's districts.
No injuries or casualties have been reported, but the flooding has caused widespread disruption affecting thousands of people and hundreds of villages in the region. Roads have been flooded, making them inaccessible. Many people in the region have been left isolated by the floods, and relief efforts are underway to help those affected.
It has been reported that 14 major rivers were brought to dangerously high water levels.
The capital city of Dhaka has been impacted by the floods, leaving many homes in the lower-lying areas of the city inundated. There are concerns that these lingering flood waters may lead to outbreaks of disease.
