More than 30 people killed by cyclone in South Asia
More than 30 people have died in the passage of tropical cyclone "Remal" in the South Asian countries of Bangladesh and India. Further fatalities have not been ruled out and rescue work is still ongoing.
Before the cyclone made landfall in India and Bangladesh on Monday night, hundreds of thousands of people in coastal areas were brought to emergency shelters for safety. The storm brought heavy rainfall that turned roads into rivers, trees and electricity poles fell and many simple houses were damaged.
The storm has since weakened, according to the weather services of both countries. However, some schools, banks and government offices in the affected areas remained closed on Tuesday.
Climate change regularly brings storms
India and Bangladesh regularly experience storms that cause power outages, destruction and flooding. According to experts, the likelihood of severe storms is increasing worldwide due to climate change.
