Situation Report on impacts of Cyclone Mocha

On 14th May around 3:00 PM, Cyclone ʻMochaʼ hit the coastal areas near the Bangladesh-Myanmar border, resulting in intense rain and powerful winds. The cyclone caused damage to shelter due to strong winds and landslides, forcing households to seek refuge in communal shelters or with relatives and friends in nearby camps. Numerous facilities, including latrines, bathing cubicles, water points, learning centres, and religious establishments, were also reported to have sustained damage. By 8:00 PM on the same day, the Bangladesh government had reduced the warning signal for maritime ports in Cox's Bazar from level ten to three, as the storm had weakened and moved further inland.
