At least 14 people killed by lightning strikes in Bangladesh. Officials reported this on Monday as seasonal thunderstorms swept across the country. Victims mostly farmers working open fields or laborers in exposed areas.
Several others injured and taken to nearby hospitals, some critically. Lightning kills hundreds annually in Bangladesh, declared a natural disaster in 2016 after over 200 deaths in May alone, including 82 people on one day.
Experts link rise in fatal lightning strikes to deforestation, leading to disappearance of tall trees that previously drew lightning away from people. Fatalities common during April-June months when heat and humidity create unstable weather conditions.
