Heavy monsoon rains cause landslides across Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, southeastern Bangladesh, killing at least eight people, including five children. Multiple reports say the collapses occur at several points in or near the camps, where crowded hillside settlements are vulnerable during periods of intense rainfall. Deccan Chronicle and NDTV report eight deaths, while Al Jazeera reports nine deaths, including eight Rohingya, after landslides hit hillsides at four locations. Authorities respond by moving residents away from high-risk areas, according to the reports. The incidents are attributed to unstable ground triggered by ongoing monsoon weather, with debris and damage affecting camp areas. The reports do not provide details on the condition of survivors or the specific identities of those killed beyond the age and refugee status of some victims. Local emergency efforts are underway as officials assess damage and continue to manage safety concerns for people living in affected sections of the camps.
