Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu has reaffirmed his country’s continued support to Rohingyas and their host community in Bangladesh, noting that Bangladesh is not alone while dealing with the crisis.
The visiting Turkish minister along with State Minister for Disaster Management and Relief Dr Md Enamur Rahman on Saturday reopened a Turkish field hospital at the Rohingya camp which was damaged by a fire last year.
The hospital, after being destroyed in the fire, was reconstructed by the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) following the instruction of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
‘We couldn’t leave these sad, oppressed people alone as well as Bangladesh, which is home to these people,’ said the Turkish Minister, mentioning that Turkey took steps immediately to address the damage caused by the fire.
Turkish Ambassador to Bangladesh Mustafa Osman Turan was also present during the brief visit to Cox’s Banzar.
