Very Severe Cyclone Mocha heads for world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh

Colombo (News 1st) - Over a million Rohingya refugees in the world's largest refugee camp are in peril as Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Mocha moves straight toward the area of the camp in Bangladesh on the Myanmar border, Bangladeshi media reported.
The Rohingyas fled Myanmar in the wake of a military offensive there and most now live in flimsy huts in the refugee camp, which are ill-equipped to weather such a storm.
Cyclone Mocha intensified rapidly on Thursday night, into a Severe Cyclonic Storm and then a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm, the fifth highest category of seven categories of storms in the North Indian Ocean region.
It is likely to intensify further into an Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm, the sixth highest category, before it crosses the Bangladesh-Myanmar coastline on Sunday.
Mocha, then a Depression that turned into a Deep Depression and then a Cyclonic Storm, lashed Sri Lanka for several days this week as it moved toward the island and then turned northwards.
