Several thousand refugees who came last year are living there. The ones who are fleeing now will also be allowed to set up makeshift houses to live in there.”
“The Rohingya refugees have been asked to take shelter around the older camps instead of being scattered all over the area.” Around 125,000 people, mostly Rohingya Muslims, have fled to Bangladesh following renewed violence in Rakhine state, UN workers have said.
They have set up numerous tiny plastic-sheet tents in the five kilometers between Ukhia’s Kutup-alang and Thaingkhali. There are similar slums in Teknaf’s Howaikyang Union and surrounding places.
The refugees have been coming across various border points, locals said. The slums popping up in random places pose a threat to the law and order situation, they said.
