Rescue workers in Bangladesh found the bodies of four missing dredger crew members, bringing the death toll from Cyclone Sitrang to 28 as millions were left without power, officials said on Wednesday.

Hurricanes — the equivalent of Atlantic hurricanes or Pacific typhoons — are a regular threat in the region, but scientists say climate change is likely to make them more intense and frequent.

Cyclone Sitrang made landfall in southern Bangladesh on Monday, but authorities managed to evacuate about a million people before the monster storm hit.

However, with winds reaching 80 kilometers per hour, it left a trail of destruction in the country’s densely populated, low-lying coastal region, which is home to tens of millions of people.

The government said nearly 10,000 tin-roofed houses were either “destroyed or damaged” and crops on much of the farmland were destroyed at a time of record high food inflation.

Fire department divers found the bodies of four crew members from a dredger that sank in the Bay of Bengal during the storm.

“We found one body Tuesday night and three more this morning. Four crew members are still missing,” said Abdullah Pasha from the fire department of the AFP news agency.

Nearly five million people were still without power as of Wednesday, Rural Electrification Board official Debashish Chakrabarty told AFP.

Almost a million people who were evacuated from low-lying regions have now returned to their homes.

Trees were uprooted as far away as the capital, Dhaka, hundreds of kilometers from the center of the storm.

Heavy rains lashed much of the country, inundating cities including Dhaka, Khulna and Barisal – which received 324 millimeters (13 inches) of rain on Monday.

About 33,000 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar who have been controversially relocated from the mainland to a storm-prone island have been ordered to stay indoors, but there have been no reports of casualties or damage, officials said.

In recent years, better forecasting and more effective evacuation planning have drastically reduced the death toll from such storms.

The worst on record in 1970 killed hundreds of thousands of people.
