🇧🇩Bangladesh
Bangladesh sits at the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra deltas, making it one of the most flood- and cyclone-prone countries in the world. Annual monsoon rains routinely trigger flooding, landslides in the southeast hills and river-bank erosion, while the coast is regularly battered by Bay of Bengal cyclones. The country also hosts roughly one million Rohingya refugees in the Cox's Bazar hills, where fragile bamboo shelters compound landslide risk during the rainy season.
