Heavy monsoon rains and surging upstream waters have turned parts of Bangladesh's Sylhet region into an inland sea, leaving millions stranded and tens of thousands displaced. Entire villages now resemble floating islands, with roads submerged and emergency teams scrambling to deliver supplies via boat.
Key details: Over 80% of Sylhet district is underwater, according to local officials. Schools-turned-shelters overflow as displaced families queue for clean water and food packets. The floods come during peak harvest season, raising fears of long-term food shortages.
Global context: UN climate experts warn this disaster echoes patterns seen in Pakistan's 2022 floods, highlighting South Asia's vulnerability to extreme weather. 'This isn't just a flood – it's climate change writing its story in river currents,' said relief coordinator Amina Rahman via satellite phone from Dhaka.
What's next: International aid groups are deploying water purification systems via helicopter while TikTok activists rally #FloodRelief challenges. With more rain forecast, residents brace for what some call 'the longest monsoon fight of our lives.'
