Tens of dead and millions blocked by floods in India and Bangladesh

Millions of people are trapped while emergency workers have struggled to reach the affected.

Sinoptics warn that floods are expected to deteriorate over the following days, the BBC writes.

Bangladesh government officials have described the recent floods as the worst in the country since 2004.

Incontinent rains over the past week have flooded wide areas of the country's northeast region, exacerbated by rainfall in the mountains in neighboring India.

Schools have become improvised shelters, and troops have been deployed to evacuate families separated from neighbouring communities as a result of rising water.
