Bangladesh will build a refugee camp for Rohingya

Good news comes to Rohingya. Reportedly, Bangladesh will build a new shelter camp for Rohingya refugees. The number of camps to be built is 14 thousand camps. The new camp will be used to house hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees who are currently forced to sleep on the sidewalk, in the middle of the field, and in the local hills.

The UN recorded nearly 400 thousand Rohingyas have arrived in Bangladesh. Rohingya militant attacks against Myanmar police and military posts triggered a massive operation that forced the exodus of Rohingyas.

"The government has decided to build 14 thousand shelter camps for 400 thousand Rohingyas," said Bangladesh's Disaster Mitigation Minister Shah Kamal.

"We were asked to build camps within 10 days, and each camp will be able to accommodate six refugee families," he said, adding that each camp would be equipped with proper sanitation, running water and medical facilities. We will also get help from UN agencies, "he said.

Shah Kamal also said that the Bangladeshi Social Welfare Service would take care of Rohingya children who lost their parents or who had fled to Bangaldesh without the company of his family.
