Recent heavy rains in northeast Bangladesh have led to extensive flooding, leaving approximately 1.8 million people stranded. The flooding has submerged homes, devastated farmland, and caused significant challenges for the affected communities.
The flooding, which is the second wave to hit the region in less than a month, has primarily impacted areas such as Sylhet city and Sunamganj. Prolonged torrential rain and water runoff from hilly regions upstream on the border with India have caused four rivers to swell beyond their danger marks, exacerbating the situation.
