Deadly Floods Strike Troubled Bangladesh

An aerial drone photo taken on August 23, 2024 shows people wading through a waterlogged road in Cumilla, Bangladesh. Floods in Bangladesh have killed at least 13 people and affected millions of others in the country’s northeast, adding to the challenges of an interim government struggling to return order to a country plunged into anarchy after mass protests forced out its autocratic leader. The regions of Feni and Cumilla were worst hit, the country’s ministry of disaster management and relief said.
