United Nations: UN aid workers and hundreds of refugees in the huge Cox’s Bazar camp in hilly southeastern Bangladesh are attempting to shore up slipping rain-soaked slopes where 2,700 Rohingya people have been uprooted, a UN spokesman said on Tuesday.
“The World Food Programme (WFP) said today (Tuesday) that heavy rains in the Cox’s Bazar settlement, which is housing Rohingya refugees, have uprooted more than 2,700 people,” said Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Haq said WFP as of Monday “provided extra food aid to 6,000 people and, with the help of hundreds of refugees, is racing to stabilize slopes which have slipped.” (PTI)
