The incident damaged 1, 762 shelters and displaced 3, 508 individuals. To date, 10 fatalities and 88 injuries have been recorded. These figures underscore the significant humanitarian impact of the ongoing monsoon conditions and highlight the need for continued monitoring, preparedness, and response efforts, particularly in areas at heightened risk of flooding, waterlogging, and landslides. Host Communities: Based on primary damage information collected from local level Disaster Management Committees (DMCs), sub-district administration, and Cyclone Preparedness Programme (CPP) unit volunteers, 2 fatalities were recorded due to landslides in Cox’s Bazar Sadar and 2 caused by damaged earthen house (1 in Pekua and 1 in Ukhiya). Temporary access disruptions were also reported in several locations over the sub-districts due to localized waterlogging and damage to roads and bridges. Besides, Ukhiya and Teknaf are facing communication disruptions due to localized waterlogging, and disruption of day to day work for community dwellers specially for the daily wage earners. Risk Analysis Overall Situation DATE: 7 JULY 2026 | TIME: 05: 00 PM SITUATION REPORT-2, MONSOON DEPRESSION IN COX’S BAZAR The monsoon depression over south Jharkhand and adjoining Odisha has weakened into a well-marked low-pressure area over East Madhya Pradesh and adjoining regions and is expected to continue weakening as it moves west northwestward. However, a steep pressure gradient persists over the North Bay, while the monsoon trough extends across southern Bangladesh. Cosequently, monsoon activity remains active over Bangladesh and strong over the North Bay. Local Cautionary Signal No. 3 remains in force for the seaports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra. Fishing boats and trawlers have been advised to remain close to the coast and operate with caution until further notice. Very heavy rainfall (≥88 mm/day) is forecast across Cox’s Bazar District on 7–8 July, with the highest accumulations expected in Teknaf (up to 193 mm). Rainfall is expected to gradually decrease from 9 July. However, Maheshkhali, Ukhiya, and Teknaf may still receive very heavy rainfall. Conditions are likely to improve further on 10–11 July, although Teknaf and Ramu may continue to face elevated risks of localized flooding, waterlogging, and landslides. During the 24 hours ending at 1500 hours BST on 7 July, Cox’s Bazar recorded 78 mm of rainfall (Bangladesh Meteorological Department-BMD Cox’s Bazar Office), recorded cumulative rainfall 207 mm; reflecting the ongoing severity of the monsoon conditions. Given saturated soil conditions and continued heavy rainfall forecasts, the risk remains high for flash flooding in low-lying areas, waterlogging in urban and camp settings, landslides on vulnerable slopes particularly in Ramu, Ukhiya and Teknaf—damage to roads and access routes, and disruptions to WASH services and humanitarian operations Request For Assistance Government Requests International Assistance No NS Requests International Assistance No Information Bulletin Published Completed Summary BDRCS PMO continued its coordinated monsoon response with the EOC activated. Camp focal points and staff participated in DMC meetings in camps and host communities, while DRM teams supported early warning dissemination, emergency relocation, and incident monitoring across 33 camps in close coordination with BMD, CPP, SMS, sectors, and the RCP-EPR Working Group. Sectoral responses are ongoing. Shelter teams distributed emergency shelter kits to 277 of 542 affected families in Camps 11 and 12.
