Bangladesh is reeling from unprecedented floods that have claimed at least 18 lives and left nearly five million people affected across 11 districts. 😢🌧️
Authorities reported on Saturday that heavy seasonal rains combined with surging waters from hills across the Indian borders have triggered devastating floods. The National Disaster Response Coordination Center, under the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, revealed in its latest report that seven flood-affected districts have seen fatalities. 🏞️
With roads washed away, delivering essential supplies has become a massive challenge. 🚧 Authorities are battling to reach several southeastern and northern districts where communities are cut off. The widespread damage to houses and crops across vast regions adds to the hardship faced by the residents. 🏠🌾
The district of Feni, one of the hardest-hit areas in southeastern Bangladesh, shows the extent of the disaster. An aerial view captures flooded villages submerged under water, highlighting the urgent need for support. 📷🚁

The floods serve as a stark reminder of the challenges posed by extreme weather events and the importance of preparedness and resilience in the face of natural disasters. 🌍⚠️
