Heavy rainfall and tidal currents have created 17 dangerous hidden channels along a 5-kilometer stretch of Cox's Bazar beach. Despite official warnings and the placement of red flags, thousands of tourists continue to bathe, resulting in 10-12 rescues over the past two days. The lack of professional divers for deep-water rescues is a major concern, following a history of 76 tourist deaths over the last decade.
