The Bangladesh 2025 monsoon flood crisis, triggered by heavy rainfall and a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal in late May, has severely impacted southeastern, northeastern, and northern regions, with flash floods continuing into July. Affected districts include Sylhet, Sunamganj, Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Cumilla, Noakhali, Feni, Patuakhali, and others, where over 80 villages in Cox's Bazar are underwater, 50,000 people marooned in Teknaf, and Rohingya camps housing 15,000 impacted residents. Floods have caused 71 fatalities in the southeast by early September, submerged 11,590 hectares of crops in Cumilla alone, damaged embankments, roads, schools, and fish farms, and paralyzed daily life with rivers exceeding danger levels.

UNHCR is mitigating flood risks in Rohingya refugee camps by pre-positioning humanitarian supplies such as tarpaulins, rope to secure shelters, sleeping mats, water purification tablets, and jerrycans ahead of the monsoon season to protect displaced populations from floods and landslides.

BDRCS tackles the flood crisis by delivering emergency relief such as shelter materials, food security support, health services, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions in flood-affected districts. They coordinate with government and humanitarian partners to provide early warning, pre-position supplies, and conduct rapid response to mitigate flood impacts on displaced populations and vulnerable communities.

The World Bank implements projects aimed at strengthening flood defenses, improving early warning systems, and enhancing community resilience to flooding and sea level rise. Their programs focus on infrastructure improvements, sustainable water management, and livelihood diversification to reduce the socio-economic impacts of annual floods and climate change.

ICCCAD conducts research and capacity building on climate change impacts, including flood risk and sea level rise in Bangladesh. They work with policymakers and communities to develop evidence-based adaptation strategies, promote climate-resilient urban planning, and enhance disaster preparedness to reduce displacement and livelihood loss caused by flooding.
