As floodwaters slowly recede across parts of Feni, the aftermath has begun to surface leaving behind devastation in homes and lives, with thousands returning to fight for survival.
Flood-hit residents of Parshuram and Phulgazi in Feni have begun returning home, only to find destruction awaiting them.
Mud-caked houses, ruined furniture, and spoiled food supplies now define their new reality.
Although waters have also started to subside in Dagan-bhuiyan and parts of the Sadar Upazila, basic services like electricity remain disrupted in many areas.
As the water goes, the struggle for recovery begins in earnest for thousands affected by the deluge.
