There was a user who was giving images and info and he's been inactive for a few hours now. He said he's staying off the account and shutting it down, but with the government over there, I'm kind of worried.
Also, the Washington Post was in the comments. They have a few articles on it so far, but I suggest looking to reddit.

FS gods, please don't delete this for links. I just haven't seen anyone else talk about it and I'm very worried.

I’m worried about why no ones talking about it, too. I found out about it by searching sad keywords on twitter, then realized it was way more tweeted about than what was on trending. An absolute disgrace.

I'm glad someone else agrees with me! I'm really worried too about how no one really cares. It's terrible but the reason I think no one cares is because there's not a lot of info. The government shut down all mobile data and slowed it down, and they're screening all online posts. I hate how everyone's ignoring it, despite news articles and whatnot.

Good news, Philly D picked it up. Maybe people will pretend to care now

Oh, good. But also not good. More news stations need to pick it up.

You guys are in America and talking about people not caring. People here in India, which is the closest ally of Bangladesh and a neighbour, are also not talking about it. Sure, its in the news and newspapers and people who watch news know about it. The general population on the other hand don't know a squat about it. People are now posting Instagram stories about reading/watching news about Bangladesh. So, I guess, now people will pretend to care?
