Bangladesh: Landslides Deadly for Rohingya Refugees

In July 2026, landslides in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, killed at least 17 people and displaced more than 3,000 Rohingya refugees, according to Human Rights Watch. For nearly a decade, Bangladesh has hosted over a million Rohingya refugees living in bamboo and tarp shelters on steep, deforested hillsides. These areas remain highly vulnerable during the monsoon season. The UNHCR has repeatedly warned about these risks as more refugees continue to arrive from Myanmar into these camps.
