Millions Displaced, Over 116 Dead in Flooding in India and Bangladesh
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Unprecedented rain has killed at least 116 people in India and
Bangladesh. Millions of people have been displaced from their homes or
trapped by flooding. On Friday, one area of India recorded almost 40
inches of rain in a single day. One of Bangladesh's largest airports is
under water. The flooding comes just a month after catastrophic flooding
in northeastern Bangladesh left 4 million people homeless, including 1.6
million children. This comes as India is facing record-breaking heat
that has devastated wheat production, as well as the mango harvest.
