Nine Dead in Bangladesh Landslides, Including Eight Rohingya Refugees

KATHMANDU. At least nine people have died in landslides caused by continuous monsoon rains in southeastern Bangladesh. Eight of the deceased were Rohingya refugees.

Landslides occurred in four places in the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar from Sunday night to Monday morning. The landslides buried temporary shelters along with heaps of soil and mud, trapping people who were sleeping there.
