Cyclone Mocha wreaks havoc on Myanmar and Bangladesh coast.

Cyclone Mocha caused storm surges and flooding in the Myanmar port city of Sittwe, damaging buildings and disrupting communication networks. However, major refugee camps in low-lying neighboring Bangladesh were largely spared. Around 400,000 people were evacuated in Myanmar and Bangladesh ahead of the cyclone, one of the strongest storms to hit the region in recent years. The vulnerable settlements in Cox's Bazar, where over one million Rohingya refugees live, were left relatively unscathed. The cyclone hit an area where around six million people were already in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the UN.
