Drowning in the Delta

Floods in Bangladesh are a recurring natural disaster, heavily influenced by the country's geography and climate. Situated in the delta of major rivers like the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna, Bangladesh experiences severe flooding during the monsoon season, exacerbated by rising sea levels and erratic weather patterns. These floods lead to widespread displacement, damage to infrastructure, loss of crops, and increased vulnerability of communities, especially in rural areas. Despite these challenges, the resilience of the Bangladeshi people is evident as they continually adapt to these harsh conditions, striving to rebuild their lives and protect their livelihoods. The series underscores the urgent need for global attention to the impacts of climate change, which is intensifying these disasters. The ongoing struggle and resilience of those living on the frontlines of climate change in Bangladesh are vividly portrayed, highlighting both the challenges and the indomitable spirit of the affected communities.
