Cyclone Amphan and Deadly Havoc: BBC

A violent cyclone with wind gusts up to 185 kilometers per hour struck Bangladesh and India, with governments evacuating millions from the coasts. Meteorological departments forecast heavy rainfall, flooding and mudslides. “The cyclone comes as tens of thousands of migrant workers continue to flee cities for their villages during India's lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus,” notes the report. “West Bengal and Orissa are among the Indian states seeing large numbers return.” Officials also relocated hundreds of Rohingya refugees living on an island in the Bay of Bengal to shelters, though UN human rights groups express concern for other hundreds of thousands of other refugees living in crowded camps, as well as some on boats in the bay, after authorities blocked their entry into Malaysia and Thailand. – YaleGlobal
