Claim: Group of Muslim men offering prayers amid the 2024 floods in Bangladesh
Fact-check: Old photo of men praying in water falsely linked to 2024 Bangladesh floods - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo is from sharwar hussain's "tears of global warming" project, which focuses on the impact of climate change on developing countries. it shows a scene from satkhira, bangladesh. satkhira, a low-lying coastal area near the sundarbans mangrove forest, often sees residents praying in chest-deep water due to flooding. this practice is in response to extreme tides that have severely affected the region. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
