Floodwaters in eastern Bangladesh have left people stranded and caused several deaths, including a pregnant woman.

Water levels in many rivers across eastern Bangladesh continue to rise, worsening an already dire situation.

Many blame India for the flash floods, saying its neighbour opened a river dam in Tripura. However, India's Ministry of External Affairs has denied these claims.

Rescue operations are underway, but communication challenges hinder efforts.
