Every morning, Abdul Aziz wakes up before dawn in the shack he shares with his wife and two daughters. Pedalling rickshaws through the streets of Dhaka is the only way the 50-year-old can provide food for his family now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aziz lives in Korail, the largest slum in Bangladesh\u2019s capital. The slum is home to nearly 200,000 people, most of whom have been displaced<\/a> by the impacts of climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aziz used to live in Sylhet, in northeastern Bangladesh, where he grew rice and raised cattle. But a sudden flash flood and subsequent inundation in May 2022 impacted him, along with over 4.3 million<\/a> others. The floods washed away his property, including four cattle. With nowhere to live and no means of earning a living, he and his family ended up in the Korail slum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
