“Group of Muslim men offering prayers amid the 2024 floods in Bangladesh”
What FACTLY found
The photo is from Sharwar Hussain’s “Tears of Global Warming” project, which focuses on the impact of climate change on developing countries. It shows a scene from Satkhira, Bangladesh. Satkhira, a low-lying coastal area near the Sundarbans mangrove forest, often sees residents praying in chest-deep water due to flooding. This practice is in response to extreme tides that have severely affected the region.
