Bangladesh workers rush to capital after government reopens factories

Description

Hundreds of thousands of garment workers race to catch ferries back to the Bangladesh capital Dhaka from their rural homes after the government said export factories could reopen despite a deadly coronavirus wave. With the economy badly hit by the pandemic, the Bangaldeshi government excluded the factories that supply top brands in Europe and North America from a nationwide lockdown order.
