Teknaf, Bangladesh: A truck laden with rice was attacked by local people while it was going to the unofficial Lada refugee camp of Teknaf to distribute ration among the refugees yesterday, at about 8:30 pm, said Hakim Majee (shed leader) from the camp 

This rice was donated by Heakmatul Insania for Lada refugees. However, two trucks with rice reached the Lada camp, but the last truck was attacked by local people as they also demanded rice from the NGO.
