AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoClimate and Health: A study of climate migrants in southwest Bangladesh finds that moving away from floods and erosion can bring new risks. Secondary cities are poorly prepared to provide safe housing, healthcare and stable livelihoods. Dengue: Women made up 38% of hospitalisations but 52% of dengue deaths this year, with experts pointing to delayed care and social and financial barriers. Bangladesh has recorded 119,801 hospitalisations and 371 deaths through October 23. Air Quality: Dhaka’s AQI reached 153 on Friday morning, an unhealthy level that can affect everyone, especially people with existing health conditions. Child Health: Bangladesh’s measles crisis has claimed more than 1,200 children’s lives, with weak vaccination coverage putting millions at risk. Nutrition: Bangladesh scored better than India and Pakistan on the 2026 Global Hunger Index, but remains in the moderate hunger category and trails Nepal and Sri Lanka.
