The authorities are yet to restore discipline and order in aid distribution at impromptu refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar forcing the Rohingyas to endure untold sufferings.
Aid is being distributed there in haphazard manner prompting untoward situation, according to rights activist and aid workers.
At least two children and one woman were killed in a stampede when private group handed out clothes near Balukhali camp on Friday.
A large number of Rohingya have taken refuge there after fleeing violence in Myanmar.
More than half of the estimated 412,000 Rohingya, who have escaped Myanmar’s military crackdown, live in makeshift sites at Kutupalong and Balukhali without proper shelter, food, clean drinking water and sanitation.
Most Rohingya have settled on muddy roadsides, as existing camps capacity overflowing.
“Refugees are still coming. But there is no attempt to bring discipline and order in the aid management,” Nur Khan Liton, a rights activist told The New Nation yesterday.
