Haors Farmers Tragedy

Maimuna, a 10-year-old girl, ferries salvaged rice bundles across the flooded expanse of a haor in Kalmakanda, Netrokona, Bangladesh, on May 5, 2026. Heavy rainfall between April 26 and May 2 has submerged 46,730 hectares, or 10.27 percent of the total haor land. Residents report that the area was flooded within 30 minutes due to heavy rain and sudden landslides. It has been raining for the last two days. (Photo by Zabed Hasnain Chowdhury/NurPhoto)
