Deadly Cyclone Mora hits Bangladesh in Pictures

A deadly Cyclone Mora has hit the south-eastern coast of Bangladesh, killing at least five people. Most of them were killed by falling trees in the districts of Cox’s Bazar and Rangamati, officials told the BBC. Hundreds of houses were fully or partly damaged, the officials said. Significant damage is reported in refugee camps housing Rohingya Muslims from neighbouring Myanmar. The authorities have moved hundreds of thousands of people to shelters.
