Environmental Pollution In Bangladesh

October 02, 2025, Outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh: Birds swarm over a massive dumpyard on the outskirts of Dhaka, where mountains of waste and heavy machinery dominate the landscape. The landfill, a major source of environmental pollution, threatens nearby habitats and forces birds to forage dangerously close to toxic waste. To free up space, the city authorities often resort to burning solid waste, according to garbage collectors, releasing carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen compounds, ammonia, sulfides, and other hazardous gases into the air, not to mention the foul smell that envelops an area of at least three-square kilometres. Environmental experts warn that CH₄ emissions significantly contribute to global warming by trapping atmospheric heat. Furthermore, the black smoke produced from burning waste exacerbates air pollution, posing serious health risks to residents. Photo by Suvra Kanti Das/ABACAPRESS.COM

Heavy smoke rises over north Gaza a day before ceasefire

A location in Gaza is under attack on Jan. 19, 2025. The Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement in Gaza came into effect on Sunday, after more than 15 months of deadly strikes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the beginning of the ceasefire in a statement, after Hamas released the names of the first three female hostages set to be freed later in the day. The ceasefire agreement, brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, was scheduled to go into effect at 0830 a.m. (0630 GMT). However, Netanyahu ordered the military to continue the assault, vowing not to cease fighting until Hamas provided the list of hostages. In a statement, Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to the deal but said the delay of providing the list was due to technical reasons. Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it conducted artillery and airstrikes in several locations across Gaza. Palestinian health authorities reported at least eight people were killed in the attacks.
