TL;DR Summary

Cyclone Mocha, a very severe cyclonic storm, is expected to hit western Myanmar and Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar, where around 1 million Rohingya refugees live in flimsy shelters. The storm's winds could peak at 220 kph just before making landfall on Sunday morning, with a storm surge of up to 2.5 meters likely to inundate low-lying coastal areas. Aid agencies are ramping up their emergency preparedness and response with local and refugee communities, while residents in coastal areas of Myanmar have started to evacuate their homes and seek shelter.
