Nearly 2 million people stranded as second wave of devastating #floods hits #Bangladesh in less than a month
"The widespread flooding was triggered by prolonged torrential rain and water runoff from the hilly regions upstream on the border with India, which caused four rivers to swell beyond their danger marks."
In neighbouring Assam:
"The flood-hit Indian state of #Assam is on high alert as it braces for more rains in the coming days.
The north-eastern state has been inundated by #flood waters for several days, affecting more than 600,000 people and killing at least 34.
All the rivers flowing through the state had crossed the danger mark at several places and that at least 19 of the state's 35 districts had been affected by the floods."
