- 12 years ago
At least 100 people are feared dead, and hundreds of thousands stranded, due to flash floods and landslides in Bangladesh.
The low-lying and densely populated country has been battered by five days of torrential downpours.
Most of the deaths were caused by landslides, in what officials say are the heaviest rains in years.
Hundreds of homes have been washed away.
Weather officials say more rain is on the way.
