The man-made disaster has not been eliminated, and the natural disaster has come, and Cyclone "Mocha" has landed in Myanmar!

Foreign media reported on May 14, 2023.

Cyclone Mocha made landfall in western Myanmar, near Bangladesh, around 3 p.m. local time on Sunday.

The storm brought high winds and torrential rains to this populous, fragile and war-torn part of the world, where there are many refugees, and landslides and flooding are now expected, possibly the strongest storm in Bangladesh in nearly 20 years.

There are fears that the cyclone could hit Cox's Bazar, the world's largest refugee camp, where nearly 1 million people are living in temporary shelters...

Tropical cyclones, also known as typhoons, bring torrential rain to the region. Low-lying terrain is expected to exacerbate flooding. Bangladesh has an average altitude of 9 meters above sea level and a population of about 170 million. Myanmar has a population of about 54 million. It has mountainous areas and heavy rainfall can cause landslides.

The Bay of Bengal accounts for only 4% of all tropical cyclones globally, but more than 80% of cyclone deaths originate from the region.

Extremely intense cyclone "Mocha" over the northeastern Bay of Bengal has moved north-northeast in the past 3 hours at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour and crossed the northern and southeastern coasts of Myanmar and Bangladesh between Kyaukphyu (Myanmar) and Cox's Bazar (Bangladesh). ”
