World Vision Bangladesh staff have rushed to the city of Chittagong after mudslides earlier this week left at least 123 residents dead.

The mudslides were triggered by the heaviest rainfall in the region in a quarter of a century. A tide of mud and water swept through the city homes, giving no chance of escape in the early hours of 11 June.

Whole families were buried under mud and debris while they slept, as the powerful current simply washed others away.
