A 7.3 magnitude earthquake occurred near Bangladesh, damaging the second largest city of Chittagong. As the nation was still recovering from a larger earthquake in Indonesia, Bangladesh needs international aid to rebuild the damaged areas. Islam is the dominant religion in Bangladesh, accounting for 83% of the population, followed by Hinduism at 16%. The country's economy depends heavily on agriculture, which over half of Bangladeshis rely on for employment. However, Bangladesh remains one of the poorest countries in the world.
