On 14 May tropical cyclone 'Mocha' hit the coastal regions of Myanmar and Bangladesh with maximum sustained winds of 250 kph, wreaking havoc on thousands of vulnerable communities. According to the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS), around three million people in Myanmar and Bangladesh were affected by the strong winds. The world's largest refugee camp in Cox's Bazar in southern Bangladesh and Rakhine State in western Myanmar were on the cyclone's route. The UN humanitarian aid office OCHA warned that torrential rains and heavy floods in cyclone-hit areas have also increased the risk of landslides ahead of the monsoon season. EPA/STRINGER
