Bangladesh: Flash Floods And Heavy Monsoon Rains Devastate In South Chattogram

Local residents use casting nets to fish on a completely submerged section of the highway as heavy monsoon floods overflow onto major roads in Chattogram, Bangladesh, on July 10, 2026. The flooding inundates sections of the crucial Chattogram-Cox's Bazar highway, creating severe transport hazards and disrupting communication links across the region. Six days of continuous torrential rain and hill runoff have triggered flash floods and waterlogging in South Chattogram. Numerous homes, croplands, and businesses are submerged, displacing thousands.
