More than 50 people have died and 35,000 have been forced to seek shelter due to the extreme weather conditions, while authorities warn of shortages of food and drinking water.
Sarder Udoy Raihan at the Center for Flood Forecasting and Warning tells the AFP news agency that the northeastern and northern parts of Bangladesh are also at risk of torrential rain and flooding.
