Monsoon rains trigger a landslide at a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh, killing at least five children, according to multiple reports. The incident occurs during the rainy season as heavy precipitation destabilizes the ground near the camp. One outlet reports that the landslide hits while children are attending classes, indicating they are at or near school at the time of the collapse. Another report cites local authorities describing the response effort, including the Fire Service and Civil Defence. The reports do not present a confirmed total beyond the minimum death toll and do not provide detailed information on additional casualties or damage to specific shelters, though they describe the deaths as involving children. The Hindu also notes that the camp is home to more than 1 million refugees, providing context for the scale of the settlement. The outlets agree that monsoon weather is the primary cause and that the victims are children. Rescue and assessment activities are referenced, but further details about the number of injuries or the broader impact are not consistently stated across the sources.
