Cyclone Remal, a powerful tropical cyclone, made landfall on May 26, 2024, along the coastal regions of Bangladesh and India. The cyclone, classified as a superstorm, has caused widespread destruction, prompting the evacuation of over 800,000 people from vulnerable areas.

As Remal approached, authorities in both countries worked tirelessly to evacuate residents from low-lying regions. In Bangladesh, regions such as Cox’s Bazar and Chattogram saw significant evacuations. India’s coastal states of West Bengal and Odisha also implemented extensive evacuation plans.

The storm brought with it storm surges, heavy rainfall, and winds exceeding 150 km/h (93 mph), leading to severe flooding, uprooted trees, and damage to infrastructure. Preliminary reports indicate that several coastal villages have been submerged, and power outages have been widespread.

Both the Bangladeshi and Indian governments have mobilized emergency services and military resources to assist in the evacuation and relief efforts. The International Red Cross and various NGOs are also on the ground, providing food, water, and medical assistance to affected populations.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have pledged comprehensive support for rebuilding efforts. They have also called for international assistance to cope with the extensive damage.

Experts have highlighted that the increasing frequency and intensity of cyclones in the Bay of Bengal region are linked to climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures provide more energy for cyclones, making them more destructive. This incident underscores the urgent need for robust climate action and resilient infrastructure to protect vulnerable communities.
