The ongoing flood crisis in Bangladesh began in mid-May 2025, primarily triggered by heavy monsoon rainfall and upstream water flow from India. The situation has worsened significantly towards the end of May when a deep depression formed over the Bay of Bengal making landfall near the West Bengal–Bangladesh coast on 29 May 2025. This weather condition brought torrential rains and strong winds exacerbating the flooding particularly in the northeastern and southeastern regions of the country. As of 1 June 2025, several districts, including Sylhet, Sunamganj, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Netrokona, Noakhali, Bhola, Khagrachari, Bandarban and Rangamati have been severely affected. The floods have resulted in loss of lives, displacement of thousands, destruction of homes and significant damage to agriculture and infrastructure. Emergency response efforts are ongoing with government authorities and humanitarian organizations working to provide Early warning and mitigate further impacts.
