Scientists say climate change is a factor behind the erratic and early rains that triggered unprecedented floods in Bangladesh and northeastern India
Bangladesh’s Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina gave a similarly grim assessment Wednesday.
Hasina said that floodwaters would recede soon from the northeast, but they would likely hit the country’s southern region soon on the way to the Bay of Bengal. A total of 42 people have died in Bangladesh since May 17 while Indian authorities reported that flood deaths have risen to 78 in Assam state, with 17 others killed in landslides.
Some, like Mohammad Rashiq Ahamed, a shop owner in the hardest-hit city of Sylhet, have worriedly returned home with their families to see what can be salvaged. Wading through knee-deep water, he said that he was worried about floodwaters rising again. “The weather is changing … there can be another disaster, at any time.”
