Exercise increased caution in Bangladesh due to crime and political unrest.
Bangladesh faces risks from political instability, with frequent strikes (hartals) and protests that can turn violent and disrupt transportation. Terrorism remains a concern following the 2016 Holey Artisan Bakery attack in Dhaka, though security has been tightened. Dhaka is extremely congested and traffic accidents are common. The Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar create localized security concerns. Coastal areas are vulnerable to devastating cyclones and flooding. Medical facilities in Dhaka are adequate for basic care but limited for serious conditions. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution, avoid political gatherings, and monitor weather alerts.
