Flash Update on Landslides, Flooding, and Waterlogging Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh September 2024

Seasonal monsoon rains have continued to hit the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar repeatedly throughout the 2024 monsoon season, resulting in landslides, flooding and waterlogging. With nearly one million people living across 33 camps, taking refuge in basic shelters made of tarpaulin and bamboo, the heavy rainfall has been disastrous. With earlier flash updates released in June and July, this update follows the significant flooding that took place from 12 – 14 September. Below is an outline of the impacts, response and challenges across sectors in the Rohingya response. Sadly, it is reported that three individuals lost their lives in Camp 14 during this period, including two children aged 6 and 7.
