A monsoon-triggered landslide strikes a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar district, killing at least five children, according to multiple outlets citing local officials. Reports say the landslide occurs as children are in classes, and it sweeps through or hits an Islamic school within the camp. The deaths are described as part of a wider recent pattern of landslides in the area: one report notes that about three days earlier, landslides killed at least eight people at Rohingya camps in the same region. Another outlet attributes the incident to heavy monsoon rains, with local fire and civil defence officials giving the casualty figures. The sources do not provide details on additional injuries or the cause of the slope failure beyond the monsoon rainfall. With the camp housing more than one million Rohingya refugees, the incident highlights ongoing risks from extreme weather and landslides in the densely populated settlements of southeastern Bangladesh.
