00:44 200,000 Rohingya Refugees at Risk as Monsoon Rains Hit Bangladesh 200,000 refugees are at risk as monsoon rains hammer their camps in Bangladesh.

At a Glance The camps, teeming with some 700,000 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, are ill-equipped to handle the intensive rains.

At least 131 landslides were reported earlier this week.

Three people have been killed, including a 3-year-old boy.

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees are at risk as the monsoon season takes a firm hold of southern Bangladesh.

Last week, the refugee camps were hard hit by the first rains of the season, which reportedly killed three people and triggered at least 131 landslides. An estimated 12 inches of rain fell within a 24-hour period that began June 9 and continued through the weekend.

UNHCR spokeswoman Caroline Gluck, who is on the ground at the Cox's Bazar camp, told weather.com Friday that sunshine had briefly returned to the camp during the day before "things got very bad again and quite windy."

UNHCR spokesperson Andrej Mahecic in Geneva said in a statement Tuesday the deluge earlier in the week was a preliminary test for the nearly 200,000 refugees at risk and the humanitarian agencies working to support the Government of Bangladesh on the response efforts.

Mahecic noted that 41,000 of the nearly 200,000 most at risk for landslides and flooding in the camps are in particular danger from the threat of landslides.

In preparation for the monsoon season, 29,000 of the 200,000 refugees most at risk were moved to safer ground.

"Relocations continue almost daily to move people at highest risk of landslides," Gluck told weather.com Friday. "Today, 21 more families (85 people) moved from camp 1 Kutupalong to camp 17, and we continue to try to find new land to move people to safer areas."

On Monday, a 3-year-old boy died when a mud wall collapsed at the Cox's Bazar camp, Rezaul Karim, of Bangladesh's Ministry for Disaster Management and Relief and manager-in-charge of the camp, told CNN. The boy's mother was also injured.

The Guardian reports that Mohammad Ali, 20, died after being crushed by an uprooted tree Tuesday morning in Balukhali camp, and a Rohingya woman died after a landslide crushed her shack.

A local reporter told the newspaper that more than 500 people had been injured.

The camp is ill-equipped for the torrential monsoonal rains or the threat of a potential cyclone in the coming months.

The United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees says much of the camp was underwater after the deluge. At least 3,000 make-shift shelters were either destroyed or damaged, according to a UHNCR statement provided to weather.com.

"Rain came down in sheets all last night," Gluck told CNN Monday. She noted that more landslides are expected because "the land has been stripped of all vegetation, to make way for the building of makeshift homes. People are practically living on sandcastles."

Many of the more than 900,000 refugees fleeing violence in Myanmar are living in makeshift shelters in Cox's Bazar.

The monsoon season typically begins in June and can last until October. Up to 8 feet of rain can fall on the region during the monsoon each year.

Hundreds of thousands of ethnically Muslim Rohingya refugees have been driven from Myanmar's Rakhine state since August 2017.
