Eight children died in a landslide at a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh.
Eight children were killed and five injured as a result of heavy rains that caused a landslide in a Rohingya refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh. This was reported on July 8 by the Reuters news agency, citing officials.
It is noted that the landslide, which occurred after several days of heavy rains, covered the school with mud and debris. Rescuers rescued 13 children from the building, eight of whom died, and the rest were hospitalized for further treatment.
According to the newspaper, most families live in temporary shelters made of bamboo and tarpaulins on steep, deforested hillsides that are prone to landslides during the annual monsoon season.
Local authorities are currently evacuating families from high-risk areas, as heavy rains increase the risk of landslides.
In Mumbai, India, on July 6, six people died as a result of the collapse of a group of buildings amid heavy rains that led to widespread flooding. The rains also caused trees to fall in the city, which has killed at least three people since the end of June.
