In India’s hard-hit Tripura state, more than 23 people have died in the floods since Monday.
Bangladesh’s disaster management ministry said in a bulletin that its latest toll of 15 deaths included fatalities in cities along the country’s southeastern coast.
That included the main port city of Chittagong and Cox’s Bazar, the latter a district home to around a million Rohingya refugees from neighbouring Myanmar.
Areas east of the capital Dhaka were also badly hit including the city of Comilla, near the border with Tripura state in India.
Nearly 190,000 others were taken to emergency relief shelters, according to the bulletin, while altogether 4.5 million people had been affected in some way.
