Cyclone Remal Batters India and Bangladesh, Killing Over 50
Torrential Rains and Strong Winds Cause Widespread Devastation
Deadly Cyclone Leaves Millions Without Power and Displaces Hundreds of Thousands
Tropical Cyclone Remal has left a trail of destruction in its wake as it slammed into India and Bangladesh, claiming over 50 lives and causing widespread damage.
Widespread Damage and Evacuations
- At least nine people were killed and over a million evacuated in India as the cyclone approached the eastern coast.
- Bangladesh was hit particularly hard, with at least 23 people killed and millions left without power after the storm made landfall.
- Over 800,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes in low-lying coastal areas of Bangladesh.
High Winds and Torrential Rainfall
Cyclone Remal brought with it strong gales of up to 110 km/h and torrential rainfall, leading to widespread flooding and landslides.
The heavy rainfall caused rivers to overflow, inundating homes and businesses, and cutting off access to roads.
Ongoing Relief Efforts
Relief efforts are underway in both India and Bangladesh, with authorities providing food, water, and shelter to those affected by the storm.
However, the sheer scale of the devastation is making it difficult to reach all those in need.
