Bangladesh is struggling with a record outbreak of dengue fever.

Experts say a lack of a coordinated response is causing more deaths from the mosquito-transmitted disease.

So far this year , 778 people in Bangladesh have died and 157,172 have been infected.

The previous highest number of deaths was in 2022 , when 281 people are reported to have died during the entire year .
