Death toll from flood climbs to 59 in Bangladesh, over 5.4 m people affected

Bangladesh is crisscrossed by more than 200 rivers, 54 of them being trans-boundary rivers with upper riparian India, in four major basins. A depression (a system that brings in copious rainfall) in the Bay of Bengal last week had led to the current deluge with rivers in two basins - the north-eastern Meghna Basin and south-western Chattrogram Hills Basin - witnessing widespread flooding.
