Ukhiya, Bangladesh: The heavy rain has destroyed many residential shacks in the unregistered Rohingya refugee camp of Kutupalong which felled from July 18 to 21 , said an elder from the camp.
“The unregistered Rohingya refugees are now facing difficulties to live in their shacks as the side walls of the shacks have been damaged by wind and heavy rain. When the rain falls inside the shacks, the refugees can’t stay inside.”
“The refugees are also facing food shortages as the rain doesn’t allow the refugees to work outside the camp to collect firewood, pull rickshaws, etc.”
“Some huts were completely destroyed by the heavy rain and wind, so the refugees can’t sleep in their huts.”
“The refugees are not able to rebuild their shacks because of severe lack of finances. There is no way for them. They will face starvation if they use their only money to rebuild their shacks,” said a refugee committee member.
