UNHCR condoles deaths in the collapse of a Madrasah in RR camp

A madrasah collapsed in a landslide in the Rohingya Refugee Camp in Coxs Bazar on Wednesday 8 July 2026.

"UNHCR extends our heartfelt condolences to the families who lost loved ones in the collapse of the madrassa in the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh yesterday, as well as those who perished in the deadly landslides and flash floods earlier this week, Ivo Freijsen, Representative, UNHCR Bangladesh said in a statement on Thursday .

This tragic loss of lives is a heartbreaking reminder of how vulnerable these camps are to natural disasters and the risks Rohingya families face each monsoon season. With more than 1.2 million refugees living in one of the world's most densely populated refugee settlements, far too many people remain exposed to landslides, flooding, cyclones, fires, and other environmental hazards.

Many of the dangers facing Rohingya refugees are neither unforeseen nor unavoidable, with adequate opportunities and resources for sustained disaster risk reduction. In the face of enduring funding constraints, however, investments in strong long-term disaster preparedness and resilience measures are increasingly underfunded, while a lack of allocated land further limits opportunities to decongest even the most overcrowded and hazardous locations and to plan for safer infrastructure.

Rather than implementing the strategic interventions we know can reduce risks before they become emergencies, humanitarian agencies are often forced to adopt short-term solutions, and the consequences of these constraints were tragically illustrated this week. UNHCR continues to advocate for the necessary resources, land and planning opportunities to improve safety and protect the lives of refugees living in these camps, in conjunction with the continued pursuit of durable solutions.”

Background

Heavy to very heavy monsoon rainfall continues to affect Cox's Bazar District and the wider

Chattogram Division, maintaining saturated ground conditions and a high risk of landslides,

flash flooding, localized waterlogging, and wind-related damage, particularly across the hilly

Rohingya refugee camps. According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD),

heavy to very heavy rainfall has persisted throughout the week, and rainfall recorded in Cox's

Bazar reached 28 mm on 4 July, 240 mm on 5 July, 129 mm on 6 July, 69 mm on 7 July, and

125 mm on 8 July. BMD forecasts heavy to very heavy rainfall to continue until 11 July. A BMD

Special Warning bulletin for Landslide further indicates that 200–500 mm of cumulative rainfall is

possible between 9 and 11 July, maintaining a high risk of landslides in vulnerable areas.

The Needs Assessment Working Group (NAWG) continues to identify Cox's Bazar as one of

Bangladesh's highest-risk districts for flash flooding, driven by above-normal rainfall across the

Chattogram Division and increased upstream flows from northeastern India. An estimated

504,500 people across eight upazilas and 74 unions could be exposed to flash flooding,

including Rohingya refugee camps, where saturated soils continue to increase the risk of slope

failures, localized flooding, and disruptions to humanitarian operations.

According to the Rohingya Coordination Platform (RCP) Daily Incidents Dashboard, between 4

July and 9 July 2026, a cumulative 286 weather-related incidents were reported across the

camps, affecting 26,119 individuals (5,518 households). These included 156 wind/storm

incidents, 95 landslides, 21 flood incidents, three drowning incidents, eight fire incidents, and

two infrastructure hazards. The incidents resulted in 15 fatalities, 18 injuries, and the temporary

displacement of 4,307 individuals.

The cumulative fatalities include two children who drowned on 5 July in Kutupalong Registered

Camp (KRC) and Camp 4 Extension, eight fatalities from landslides on 6 July (Camp 7 - one

child; Camp 11 - four individuals, including three children; Camp 15 - three individuals), and five

additional fatalities following a major landslide in Block A-3 of Camp 5 on 8 July (all children).

According to the official Camp-in-Charge (CiC) report, the Camp 5 incident occurred at

approximately 14:10 hrs, claimed the lives of five refugees, and left eight others receiving

treatment at various hospitals and Primary Health Centres.

The severe weather has cumulatively partially damaged 2,809 shelters and completely

destroyed 13 shelters. In addition, 742 facilities (including 37 learning centers, 163 latrines, 38

water points, four mosques, and 500 other facilities) and 974 infrastructure components

(including 695 retaining walls, 146 pathways, 107 stairways, 14 roads, and 12 bridges) have

sustained damage.

The highest numbers of affected individuals have been reported in Camp 10 (3,818), Camp 12

(2,472), Camp 1W (1,952), Camp 11 (1,774), Camp 5 (1,524), Camp 6 (1,453), Camp 16

(1,247), Camp 9 (1,242), Camp 18 (1,005), and Camp 7 (864). The largest displacement has

been recorded in Camp 6 (1,085 individuals), while the highest numbers of damaged shelters

have been reported in Camp 11 (405 partially damaged shelters), Camp 12 (396), Camp 9

(256), Camp 16 (196), and Camp 10 (177).

Humanitarian partners continue to work closely with the Government of Bangladesh, including

the Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC), district and upazila administrations,

the Fire Service and Civil Defence, the Armed Police Battalion (APBN), and sector partners to

conduct rapid assessments, support emergency response operations, and provide assistance to

affected refugee and host communities.

Weather Outlook

According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), active monsoon conditions are

expected to continue until at least 11 July, with heavy to very heavy rainfall forecast across

Cox's Bazar and the Chattogram Division. A BMD landslide warning forecasts 200–500 mm of

rainfall between 9 and 11 July, maintaining a high landslide risk in Teknaf, Ukhiya, and Cox's

Bazar Sadar.

The NAWG Anticipatory Impact Analysis continues to identify Cox's Bazar as highly vulnerable

to flash flooding. Continued rainfall is expected to increase the risk of flooding, landslides,

infrastructure damage, access constraints, and displacement. Humanitarian partners should

maintain heightened preparedness, monitor weather advisories and high-risk locations,

disseminate early warning messages, support relocations where necessary, and exercise

caution during field movements.

SCCCM:

Impact Summary:

• Despite lower rainfall (92 mm on 8 July), saturated ground conditions continued to trigger

significant monsoon-related hazards across the camps. A total of 1,169 households (5,743

individuals) were affected, including 266 households (1,323 individuals) relocated to safer

locations and 327 households (1,614 individuals) temporarily displaced due to unsafe

shelters or surrounding conditions. Multiple landslide incidents caused the most severe

human impact, resulting in fatalities and injuries, predominantly among children. This

highlights the continued life-threatening risk faced by households living near unstable

slopes, erosion-prone areas, and other high-risk locations during sustained rainfall.

• A total of 992 shelters were affected, including 646 partially damaged shelters and 10

flooded shelters, reflecting the cumulative impact of prolonged rainfall and saturated ground

conditions, despite lower rainfall levels recorded on 8 July.

• Significant damage was reported to critical camp infrastructure, including 111 slope

protection structures, 20 pathways, 18 stairways, 3 roads, 4 bridges, 11 latrines, and 1 water

network, as well as retaining walls, water points, drainage systems, and community facilities.

The damage disrupted safe movement, humanitarian access, and the continuity of essential

services across the camps.

Response:

• Humanitarian partners, Site Management Agencies, CiCs, government authorities, and

community volunteers coordinated rescue operations, evacuations, rapid damage

verification, and emergency response activities. A total of 637 individuals received

immediate life-saving assistance, supported by 795 DMU volunteers, 362 Site Management

volunteers, and 90 Site Management staff.

• High-risk locations continued to be monitored through red-flag marking, door-to-door

awareness campaigns, early warning dissemination, and support for relocating households

to safer locations and Temporary Collective Shelters (TCSs).

• Site Management coordinated emergency mitigation measures, including drainage cleaning,

slope covering and repairs, debris and fallen tree removal, rehabilitation of damaged access

routes, verification of shelter damage, and planning for emergency shelter assistance and

infrastructure restoration.

Challenges/Needs:

• Continued rainfall and saturated ground conditions maintain a high risk of flash flooding,

landslides, and slope failures. Relocating households from high-risk areas remains

challenging and requires strengthened community engagement and stakeholder support.

• Affected and displaced households require timely emergency shelter assistance. Ongoing

rainfall continues to limit the safe repair of damaged shelters and critical infrastructure,

prolonging displacement and increasing vulnerability.

• Urgent rehabilitation of damaged pathways, roads, retaining walls, slope protection

structures, drainage systems, WASH facilities, and community infrastructure is needed to

restore safe access, reduce secondary risks, and maintain essential services.

Partners: UNHCR, IOM, ACTED, AAB, BRAC, DRC, MBSS, CiCs, Site Management Agencies,

government authorities, DMU volunteers, and Site Management Support (SMS) volunteers.

FSS:

Response:

• Sector partners' community volunteers are actively supporting evacuations, emergency

relocations, and the distribution of relief items, including tarpaulins, food assistance, and water

purification supplies.

• Emergency food distributions continued, with fortified biscuits provided as an immediate

response, followed by hot meals for affected families. On 8 July, a total of 624 households (3,106

individuals) received emergency food assistance, including fortified biscuits and hot meals,

across the affected camps. Cumulatively, since 6 July, WFP has distributed 3.9 metric tonnes

(MT) of fortified biscuits and 9,658 hot meals to 7,698 affected individuals (1,495 households)

across the camps.

• The evolving weather conditions may require a rapid scale-up of assistance and additional

preparedness measures to address potential increases in humanitarian needs.

Partners: WFP and its partners (YPSA, CODEC, SHED, and RIC) are providing emergency

food assistance, complemented by support from other FSS sector partners at the camp level.

WASH:

Impact Summary:

• Rapid assessments were conducted to determine damage to WASH infrastructure.

Reported damages include 667 latrines (625 partially damaged and 42 fully damaged), 197

bathing cubicles (191 partially damaged and 6 fully damaged), 13 faecal sludge treatment

plant (FSTP) sites (10 partially damaged and 3 severely damaged), 44 tubewells with hand

pumps (43 partially damaged and 1 fully damaged), and 13 tap stands (9 partially damaged

and 4 fully damaged).

• Two water reservoirs (dams) in Camp 22 were partially damaged, while 11 material recovery

facilities (MRFs) sustained partial damage.

• One water treatment plant was partially affected by a landslide.

Response:

• Daily assessments are being conducted by WASH agencies to identify new damage

resulting from ongoing rainfall.

• To date, 20 latrines, 6 bathing cubicles, 1 FSTP site, and 1 tubewell have been repaired.

• Site protection measures and the decommissioning of high-risk WASH facilities are ongoing

to mitigate safety risks.

Challenges/Needs:

• Continued rainfall has placed many WASH facilities at risk of landslides. Where relocation is

not feasible, facilities have been decommissioned, creating access challenges, particularly

for sanitation facilities.

• Three sludge transfer tanks have collapsed and been completely destroyed.

• Persistent heavy rainfall is slowing repair and rehabilitation work.

Protection (including CP andGBV):

Impact:

Protection:

• Heavy rainfall, flooding, and waterlogging continued to disrupt access to protection

services. Five Community-Based Protection (CBP) centres and Community Feedback

Mechanism (CFM) facilities in Camps 1W, 4, 5, 12, and 18 were affected by

waterlogging.

• Continued rainfall increased the risk of landslides and further deterioration of partially

damaged shelters, exposing households in high-risk areas to heightened protection

concerns while disrupting livelihoods as many refugees remained confined to their

shelters.

• Protection monitoring identified continued safety and security concerns, including theft

and looting of household belongings from affected shelters, some allegedly perpetrated

by organized groups, particularly during displacement and nighttime heavy rainfall.

Community members also reported intimidation and physical violence by these group

members, contributing to heightened fear and insecurity.

Child Protection:

• Three additional Multi-Purpose Centres (MPCs) were reported damaged, bringing the

total number of affected facilities to 39. Eight facilities are currently being used as

emergency shelters, hosting six families.

• Six additional non-fatal drowning incidents involving children and three child injuries

were reported. Cumulatively, 34 children have been involved in drowning incidents and

five children have been injured.

• Seven additional families and 10 individuals were relocated, bringing the cumulative total

to 64 families and 98 individuals relocated.

GBV Sub-Sector:

• Sixteen WGSS/WFS, one WLCC, and one Men Engagement Centre were affected by

heavy rain and flooding, disrupting services.

• Heavy rainfall has reduced access to facilities, affecting community awareness of

available services, timely identification of protection concerns, and referrals to

appropriate services. People with disabilities and older people face disproportionate

barriers to accessing essential services.

• Flooded and poorly lit pathways, displacement, shelter damage, and livelihood losses

have increased protection risks, including intimate partner violence (IPV), psychological

abuse, and delays in the response to GBV incidents.

• Protection risks are further exacerbated at night due to limited visibility and unsafe

movement, making it more difficult for women, girls, and humanitarian personnel to

safely access and deliver essential services.

Response:

Protection:

• Protection partners continued monsoon preparedness, landslide safety, drowning

prevention, and early warning awareness activities through community networks, PERU

members, religious leaders, youth groups, and other community structures, reaching

approximately 35,000 refugees and conducting over 90 awareness sessions.

• Protection partners continued providing Psychological First Aid (PFA), individual

consultations, and support to persons with specific needs (PSNs). At least 439 people with

specific needs (PSNs) received follow-up support, while approximately 100 individuals

received Psychological First Aid (PFA) and psychosocial support.

• Community-Based Protection (CBP) Centres temporarily sheltered 40 flood-affected

individuals, including eight children, six older people, and two people with disabilities.

• Protection teams coordinated with Site Management, SCCCM, CP, GBV, HLP, and sector

partners to support emergency response, monitor shelter-related protection concerns,

identify child protection risks around hazardous water bodies, and maintain community-level

monitoring throughout the emergency.

• Protection partners continued protection monitoring in flood-, landslide-, and erosion-prone

areas, identifying households at risk, promoting safe relocation, supporting relocation to

Temporary Communal Shelters (TCS), and referring protection concerns to relevant service

providers. During the reporting period, nine households at risk were identified, nine referrals

were made to specialized services, and three vulnerable individuals were referred for

specialized protection and psychosocial support.

Child Protection:

• DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) awareness activities reached 8,849 individuals (6,916

children and 1,811 adults, including 122 persons with disabilities). Cumulatively, DRR

awareness activities have reached 11,511 individuals.

• Psychological First Aid (PFA) was provided to 556 children and 208 caregivers during the

reporting period. Cumulatively, 2,119 children and 431 caregivers have received PFA.

• Psychosocial Support Services (PSS) were provided to 1,467 children and 248 caregivers

during the reporting period. Cumulatively, 3,614 children and 356 caregivers have received

PSS.

• Two missing girls were reunited with their families in Camp 13 (Thangkhali-Burmapara) by

Save the Children, bringing the cumulative number of family reunifications to two children.

• Thirteen children (5 girls and 8 boys) were referred to specialized service providers for

further support.

Gender-Based Violence:

• Core GBV services, including case management, Psychological First Aid (PFA),

psychosocial support (PSS), referrals, and community outreach, continued with

operational adjustments as needed to ensure uninterrupted support for women, girls,

and other vulnerable populations through case workers and volunteers.

• A total of 603 individuals (283 women, 68 girls, 35 boys, and 217 men) received PFA

services across Camps 5, 11, 12, 15, and 16 to address immediate psychosocial needs

and provide timely support.

• A total of 31 individuals (15 women, 9 girls, and 1 man) received PSS services across

Camps 11, 12, 15, and 16.

• Dignity kits were distributed to 15 women and girls whose shelters were damaged in

Camps 11, 12, 15, and 16.

• Temporary shelter support was provided through Women and Girls Safe Spaces to 27

women, girls, and boys whose shelters were damaged or who were displaced due to

heavy rainfall and landslide risks, ensuring access to a safe and secure environment in

Camps 16 and 20.

Challenges and Priority Needs:

Protection:

• Many households remain reluctant to relocate from landslide-prone areas despite the

continued risk, while partially damaged shelters continue to expose families, particularly

persons with specific needs and other vulnerable groups, to heightened protection risks.

• Heavy rainfall, waterlogging, and damaged infrastructure continue to restrict access to

protection services and hinder humanitarian response efforts.

• Urgent needs include shelter repair materials, rehabilitation of damaged shelters, slope

stabilization, pathway repairs, and restoration of critical infrastructure.

• Delays in assistance for families in Temporary Communal Shelters, including food and

basic support, continue to affect displaced households, while some newly arrived

households with Joint Assistance Cards (JACs) report not receiving assistance.

• Floodwater diversion efforts in some affected blocks have triggered localized Housing,

Land and Property (HLP) disputes and increased community tensions due to competing

safety concerns.

Child Protection:

• Drowning risk continues with heavy rainfall: children were observed swimming in ponds

and floodwater in Camps 25, 3, 15, and 22, and playing near unfenced water bodies;

volunteers report difficulty preventing children from entering the water.

• Landslide risk remains elevated across multiple camps: the hillside above a shelter in

Camp 20 collapsed leaving six children without adequate shelter; families in Camps 22

and 26 continue to refuse relocation despite advisories; slippage and injuries were

reported in Camp 15 (Jamtoli).

• Emergency shelter materials (tarpaulin, rope, sandbags, GI wire, bamboo) remain

insufficient for shelter reinforcement in Camp 16 and other affected sites.

Gender-Based Violence:

• Heavy rainfall and flooding have reduced mobility for women, girls, and survivors,

leading to lower attendance at case management follow-up visits and centre-based

activities. Outreach sessions, including Girl Shine STAR and Women Support Network

(WSN) activities, have been reduced or temporarily suspended in some locations due to

safety concerns and adverse weather conditions.

Health:

Impact Summary:

• A major landslide in Camp 05, Block A-03, resulted in 11 casualties, including 5 deaths and 6

injuries requiring hospitalization. Despite the incident, all health facilities remained

operational, with no disruption to essential health services throughout the emergency.

• All incidents resulting in casualties were coordinated through the WHO-led Emergency

Preparedness and Response Technical Committee (EPR TC) under the Health Sector, in

collaboration with the WHO-supported Health Emergency Operations Centre (HEOC) at the

Civil Surgeon Office.

• All 13 designated Medical Hubs, 17 Mobile Medical Teams (MMTs), and the 33-ambulance

District Referral Unit (DRU) network remained fully operational, ensuring uninterrupted

trauma care, referral services, and emergency surge capacity.

Response:

• The WHO-led EPR TC under the Health Sector, through the WHO-supported HEOC at the

Civil Surgeon Office, immediately activated the Health Sector emergency response

mechanism under the Incident Command System (ICS), coordinating closely with the Civil

Surgeon Office, RRRC, CiCs, Fire Service, and Health Sector partners.

• Four Mobile Medical Teams (two Core MMTs and two Surge MMTs) were rapidly deployed,

with additional teams placed on standby. In addition, four Medical Hubs and 10 DRU

ambulances were activated to provide on-site triage, emergency stabilization, trauma care,

and referral services for affected casualties.

• The WHO-led EPR TC maintained continuous operational coordination, field supervision,

and real-time incident reporting through the HEOC, while ensuring the readiness of all 17

MMTs, 13 Medical Hubs, and the 33-ambulance DRU network to respond to any further

monsoon-related emergencies.

Challenges/Needs:

• Continued heavy rainfall and saturated soil conditions maintain a high risk of further

landslides, requiring sustained emergency preparedness and response capacity across

high-risk camps.

• Strengthened coordination and timely information sharing among Site Management

(SMSD), Camp Health Focal Points, and government counterparts remain essential to

support rapid operational decision-making and response.

• Continued reinforcement and standardized implementation of the Incident Command

System (ICS), as well as the Mobile Medical Team and Medical Hub Operational Plans,

remain priorities to ensure a coordinated and effective emergency health response.

BDRCS, RTMI/UNFPA, HMBDF, and other Health Sector Partners.

Nutrition:

Impact Summary:

• Waterlogging, flooding in several sub-blocks, and slippery access routes have created

significant challenges in accessing nutrition services, particularly for children under five and

pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBW) across the camps, contributing to reduced

beneficiary attendance.

• Nearly all Integrated Nutrition Facilities (INFs) are experiencing limited or no solar power

due to the complete shutdown of the camp nano-grid system. As a result, most service

points are without adequate lighting, affecting the working environment, safety and security,

and the delivery of nutrition services, particularly during periods of low natural light.

Response:

• Nutrition partners are actively tracking and following up with absent children and pregnant

and breastfeeding women to help ensure continuity of essential nutrition services despite

the ongoing challenges.

• Temporary mitigation measures have been implemented to address lighting shortages in

facilities, including the use of mobile flashlights, rechargeable LED lights, portable charger

lights, and candles.

• Nutrition partners have undertaken immediate mitigation measures, including emergency

repairs, drainage clearance, temporary roof protection, and the safeguarding of nutrition

supplies to sustain service delivery in affected facilities.

Challenges/Needs:

• Sustained low beneficiary attendance throughout the week is likely to result in a significant

increase in caseloads and service demand once access improves, potentially placing

additional pressure on facility capacity and staff.

• Flooded sub-blocks, waterlogged catchment areas, and deteriorating road conditions

continue to disrupt community outreach activities, limiting staff mobility and reducing

coverage of vulnerable populations despite ongoing efforts to maintain essential nutrition

services.

Partners: Concern, Friendship, GK, SHED, UNICEF and WFP

Education:

Impact Summary:

• A tragic incident was reported at a community-run madrasa (not supported by the Education

Sector) in Camp 5, where multiple children and a teacher were reported missing, injured, or

deceased following a landslide. As a safety and protection measure, all learning facilities

have been closed.

• Learning activities have been severely disrupted across the camps. Rapid assessments are

being conducted. Two learners were reported injured, while no injuries among volunteer

teachers have been reported.

• A total of 45 Learning Centers (LCs) are currently being used as temporary shelters by

families whose homes were damaged or destroyed. Across 29 camps (01E, 01W, 02E, 02W,

03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08E, 08W, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25,

26, and 27), damage has been reported to 678 learning facilities (660 LCs and 18 CBLFs),

requiring repair, reconstruction, or relocation. Many classrooms are waterlogged, while

others have lost roofs or walls, have partially or fully collapsed, or are at risk of collapse,

posing additional risks to nearby shelters.

• Teaching and learning materials, including textbooks, workbooks, floor mats, blackboards,

and other classroom resources, have also been damaged.

Response:

• All learning facilities were closed on 9 July due to concerns regarding the safety,

security, and protection of children and volunteer teachers. This closure was

implemented one day ahead of the planned academic break. Learning facilities are

expected to reopen on 26 July.

• Rapid assessments were conducted by Education Sector partners using a Day 1

assessment tool. A Day 3 assessment tool was subsequently shared with partners to

collect more detailed information on the extent of facility damage and the number of

affected children.

• Coordination is ongoing with CiC offices and other stakeholders, including the Site

Management (SMSD).

• The primary response will focus on repairing, reconstructing, or relocating damaged

facilities and replacing damaged teaching and learning materials, in coordination with

CiCs and relevant stakeholders.

Challenges/Needs:

• An extremely high number of learning facilities have been damaged.

• Due to continued heavy rainfall during the monsoon season and the scale of the

damage, reconstruction and repair efforts are expected to take considerable time.

• Landslides and soil erosion around the foundations of education facilities are increasing

risks for children attending classes and for families living near facilities that are at risk of

collapse.

LSDS:

LSDS partners continue to monitor the evolving situation and remain engaged in preparedness

and coordination activities. Updates will be provided as further information becomes available.

Bhasan Char:

Continuous rainfall persists on Bhasan Char, although no movement restrictions have been

reported. Prolonged cloudy weather and limited sunlight have prevented many solar-powered

streetlights from recharging, resulting in widespread nighttime outages across the camp. The

reduced lighting has contributed to a reported increase in theft incidents within the camp.

The Navy has advised residents to remain highly vigilant and take necessary precautions to

secure their shelters and cluster areas to mitigate the risk of theft. Despite the adverse weather

conditions, operational activities continue as planned, with no major disruptions reported.
