Monsoon rains in Bangladesh and flooding of rivers in parts of India have been in crisis for about two weeks, causing deaths and making residents homeless.

Bangladesh is the intersection of more than 200 rivers. According to the officials, 5 million 457 thousand 702 people in 504 municipal districts in 11 districts have been affected by the flood. Meteorological experts attribute widespread flooding in this country not only to monsoon rains and river flooding, but also to the effects of the “El Nino” phenomenon and climate change.

Bangladesh Weather Forecasting and Warning Center faced severe criticism earlier this week due to not correctly predicting the severity of the crisis. The officials of this center say that the reason for this incomplete forecast was the lack of information from their counterparts in the upstream areas of the rivers shared with India.
