Flooding affected parts of South Asia since March of 2023, killing many and destroying buildings.

Background

Monsoons hit South Asia every year, mostly between June and September. Every year, floods affect the Indian subcontinent, collapsing buildings and causing landslides. Climate change in South Asia has exacerbated these storms.[1]

Bangladesh

Cyclone Mocha destroyed 2,522 houses and damaged 10,469 others in May.[2] Three people died of indirect causes[3] and 12 others were injured.[4]

Flooding in August killed 57 people, left several missing, displaced around 45,000 residents and affected 1.2 million others, as well as damaging over 2,700 shelters.[5][6]
