In the Cox's Bazar refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh, landslides triggered by heavy monsoon rains have left 9 people dead. The incident occurred at night, while many were asleep, causing their shelters to collapse. The victims included 8 Rohingya refugees and 1 Bangladeshi citizen.According to officials, around 1,000 people living in high-risk areas have been relocated to safer zones, with plans to evacuate thousands more. The Cox's Bazar camp, home to over 1 million Rohingya refugees, is prone to landslides and floods during the monsoon season due to its terrain and makeshift shelters made of bamboo and plastic sheets.The area is considered one of the largest refugee settlements in the world, and the refugee population is at risk of landslides and flooding every year during the monsoon season.
