Bangladesh is facing a surge in dengue cases, turning it into a year-round crisis due to climate change. The Aedes mosquito, which spreads dengue, is breeding in stagnant pools, leading to a rise in cases. Pediatric wards are overcrowded with children sharing beds due to the increase in cases. In November, 134 deaths were recorded, making it the deadliest month of the year. Efforts are being made to destroy larval sites, as the World Health Organization warns of the alarming spread of the virus worldwide. Medics emphasize the need for immediate action to prevent outbreaks, as dengue can strike at any time of the year.
