Bangladesh: Landslides Deadly for Rohingya Refugees

Landslides have posed a deadly risk to Rohingya refugees in the area. In July 2026, landslides resulted in fatalities and displacement. The refugees are hosted in crowded camps on steep hillsides, making them vulnerable to natural disasters. The camps are home to over a million Rohingya refugees, who have been living there for nearly a decade. The shelters are made of bamboo and tarps, which are not suitable for withstanding extreme weather conditions. Further information on the situation is available from Human Rights Watch, which has reported on the dangers faced by the refugees in the area.
