Three children among four killed in Cox’s Bazar landslides

At least four people, including three children, have died in landslides triggered by days of heavy rain at two places in Cox’s Bazar.

One of the landslides hit Balukhali Rohingya camp in Ukhiya and the other occurred in Chakaria on Monday, local representatives and the Fire Service and Civil Defence said.

Mohammad Salequzzaman, chairman of Baraitali Union Council in Chakaria, said parts of a hill collapsed on the home of Anwar Hossain in the remote Baraghona area around 4:30 pm, according to a bdnews24.com report.

Two children of Anwar were buried under a wall of the house and they died on the way to hospital, said Salequzzaman.
