B'desh: WFP increases response in Cox's Bazar

Geneva, Jul 12 (UNI) Days of heavy monsoon rains and wind have pounded the refugee camps in the Cox’s Bazar area of Bangladesh since 4 July, leading to loss of life, displacing 5,600 people, and damaging thousands of homes, said the UN World Food Programme (UNWFP) on Friday.
Mr Herve Verhoosel, senior spokesperson for the UNWFP, told the mediapersons that those in the most vulnerable living situations have been relocated to safer, newly developed land in the camps.
Additional rainfall is forecast for the weekend. The destruction is caused by the most significant weather event in over a year, and it was triggered by monsoon weather systems in the Bay of Bengal. Over 45,000 individuals have been affected by weather-related incidents since the end of April.
