Landslides triggered by monsoon rains killed at least 11 people on Tuesday in Bangladesh near camps housing one million Rohingya refugees, officials said. Aid agencies have been warning of the potential for a humanitarian catastrophe over the coming months as heavy rains lash an area home to the world's largest refugee camp. Most of Tuesday's victims were buried under mud when surrounding hills gave way after a deluge.
