This is the best summary I could come up with:
Bangladesh is reeling from its worst-ever outbreak of dengue that has claimed more than 1,000 lives since the start of this year.
Data shared by government health officials on Sunday showed that 1,006 people have died since the start of the year, of which 17 were reported in the last 24 hours.
Among the deaths reported, 112 were of children aged 15 and under, including infants, according to the figures provided by the Directorate General of Health Services.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that climate change is resulting in the faster and further spread of dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases.
Scientists said that irregular rainfall and hotter temperatures than usual have created the ideal conditions for mosquitoes to breed.
In September, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the dengue outbreak was “putting huge pressure on the health system” in Bangladesh.
