Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Mocha is a powerful tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean that is making landfall in Myanmar. The second depression and the first cyclonic storm of the 2023 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Mocha originated from a low-pressure area that was first noted by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on 8 May. After consolidating into a depression, the storm tracked slowly north-northwestward over the Bay of Bengal, and reached extremely severe cyclonic storm intensity. After undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle, Mocha rapidly strengthened, peaking at Category 5-equivalent intensity on 14 May with 1-minute sustained winds of 280 km/h (175 mph). Just before landfall, Extremely Severe Cyclone Mocha weakened to a category 4 cyclone with winds of 241 km/h (150 mph).

The UN refugee agency stated that "emergency preparations in the camps and on Bhasan Char are underway" in collaboration with the government and local humanitarian organizations.[33] Heavy rains from the cyclone might cause landslides in Chittagong and Cox's Bazar, as well as three other hilly districts: Rangamati, Bandarban, and Khagrachhari, according to authorities in Bangladesh.[34] A half-million people are being evacuated to safer areas in south-eastern Bangladesh ahead of a possibly catastrophic cyclone.[35] The WMO deployed 40 ambulances and 33 mobile medical teams in Cox's Bazar.[36] In addition, Arjun Jain, the UN's principal coordinator for the Rohingya refugee response in Bangladesh, says that there are numerous ambulances and mobile health teams available to support Bangladeshis in need as well as refugees. These teams are highly trained to assist the elderly, children, and the disabled.[37]

The authorities suspended inland river transport in Bangladesh on 13 May and flight operations at Shah Amanat International Airport on 14 May.[38] The Bangladesh government launched a large evacuation campaign to relocate almost 500,000 residents along the country's southern coastlines.[39] However, Bangladesh officials moved 190,000 people from Cox's Bazar and over 100,000 from Chittagong.[40]
