Monsoon landslides in Bangladesh kill at least eight Rohingya refugees

Officials in southeastern Bangladesh say a series of landslides triggered by monsoon rains kills at least eight Rohingya refugees living in camps. Multiple outlets report that the landslides occur in the Cox’s Bazar area, where makeshift shelters are buried by mud and debris while residents are asleep. The Hindu adds that rescuers recover seven bodies and a further eighth body is found by refugees after several hills collapse starting late on July 7, 2026. ABC News and other sources attribute the disaster to heavy monsoon rainfall battering the region, with reports also noting impacts in nearby India, though the confirmed deaths cited in these articles relate to Bangladesh camp residents. Authorities and responders conduct searches and recover bodies following the collapses. The reports present a consistent casualty figure—at least eight deaths—and describe the event as landslides linked to monsoon rains affecting Rohingya camps in southeastern Bangladesh.
