Millions affected as flood situation worsens

After several days continuous heavy rainfall, several northern districts in Bangladesh have been affected by flood while the third spell of devastating flood battered northeastern regions, affecting millions of people.
Major rivers in north and northern districts are overflowing due to torrential rains triggered by active monsoon, which submerged much of regions, leaving several lakh of people stranded, officials and residents told BSS today.
The third wave of devastating flood battered wide swaths of two north-eastern districts Sylhet, Sunamganj and other parts of Bangladesh as third round of flood hit northeastern parts in a shorter time meaning this unusual phenomenon has already affected life and livelihood, they said.
