Bangladesh has been hit by severe flooding and landslides triggered by days of incessant rainfall and upstream water flow, particularly in the southeastern and northeastern regions.
According to the latest official figures, the disaster has claimed at least 51 lives, while hundreds of thousands of people have been affected across seven districts. Rescue, relief and rehabilitation efforts are continuing as floodwaters inundate vast areas and damage homes, roads and agricultural land.
