According to the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, floods in eastern Bangladesh caused by torrential rainfall have left at least 14 people dead and 4.5 million people displaced. Large areas of Bangladesh's low-lying areas have been inundated by floods brought on by heavy rainfall, and rescuers are rushing to evacuate affected residents. Nearly 190,000 people were brought to emergency relief shelters, according to the ministry, which also reported on Friday that the floods has hit 11 of the 64 districts in the nation.

In Moulvibazar, Rajnogor Upozela Ridoy Miah is missing from last night.

The worst-hit area was Feni, which is located roughly 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Chittagong, the main port. With hundreds of rivers crisscrossing the 170 million-person South Asian nation, floods have been a common occurrence in recent years. The Global Climate Risk Index lists it as one of the nations most susceptible to natural disasters and the effects of climate change.

Every year, the monsoon rains cause extensive damage, but as a result of climate change, there are more catastrophic weather events and altered weather patterns. Speedboats and helicopters are being used to rescue people who are stuck by the swollen rivers, and the army and navy have been called into action.
