Nine individuals in Cox’s Bazar have perished in the last three days as a result of landslides and boat capsizing, including Rohingyas.

Though there is still waterlogging in some places of Cox’s Bazar, the heavy rains have started to subside.

Reduced rainfall from Saturday morning to Saturday afternoon has improved conditions in Cox’s Bazar’s low-lying regions.

Roads and streets in the district center as well as in several upazilas have visible damage.

Another body was found this morning at the city’s Samitypara sea point.

Up until Saturday at midday, 210 millimeters of rainfall had been recorded in the previous 24 hours, according to Assistant Meteorologist Abdul Hannan of the Cox’s Bazar Weather Office.
There is deep convection over North Bay and the nearby shoreline.

Heavy rains over the past three days have caused significant waterlogging in the Cox’s Bazar hotel-motel zone.

Although the water has receded on Saturday, about 20,000 tourists had faced severe difficulties.

Additionally, low-lying areas in various upazilas of Cox’s Bazar district, including Sadar, Ramu, Ukhiya, and Chakaria, have been flooded.

Water levels are beginning to recede in some of these areas.

Meanwhile, the depression in the Bay of Bengal has kept the sea rough.

On Friday, six fishing trawlers capsized due to strong winds, and another body of a fisherman named Abdul Nur Majhi, 47, from the Banshkhali area of Chittagong was recovered.

This brings the total number of deaths to nine, including three fishermen and some Rohingyas.

Imrul Kayes Chowdhury, Chairman of the Haldia Palong Union Parishad in Ukhiya, reported that the Haldia Palong Union was the most severely affected by the heavy rains.

Thousands of people were trapped by the flooding over the past three days, and with the water levels now decreasing, their hardships have intensified.

Jahangir Alam, District Relief and Rehabilitation Officer of Cox’s Bazar, stated that the extent of damage due to the heavy rains is not yet fully assessed. It will be possible to determine the extent of the damage once the water has completely receded.

Currently, 45 metric tons of relief materials have been allocated for the affected individuals. Further government aid will be provided once the damage assessment is complete, he added further.
