Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief Advisor Farooq-e-Azam and Home Affairs Advisor Lt. General Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury visited the Rohingya camps at Ukhia upazila in Cox’s Bazar district on Monday afternoon.
Upon reaching the camp, the two advisors ascended the observation tower. From there, they discussed the overall situation of the camp with relevant officials.
After the inspection, in response to a question from journalists, Farooq-e-Azam said, “Bangladesh has provided shelter to the Rohingyas. The international community also has a great responsibility towards the Rohingyas. If the assistance that has been provided for so long decreases, a crisis will be created.”
“This crisis is not for Bangladesh to bear alone. The international community, including everyone, must collectively face this crisis. Otherwise, it would be inhumane. Therefore, from the government’s side, we are always presenting the reality to the international community,” he added.
The Relief Advisor also said that, “We have been informed about the situation in the Rohingya camps. Plans will be adopted to control law and order in the camps, which will be implemented to manage the camp situation.”
Lt. General Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said, “The barbed wire fences provided for camp security have been damaged. Decisions will be made on how to restore the barbed wire fence and how to enhance camp security.”
Earlier in the morning, the two advisors participated in separate programs in Cox’s Bazar town.
