More than 1 lakh Rohingya refugees in grave danger from monsoon rains: UN report

Dhaka, Jan 30:  More than one lakh Rohingya refugees huddled in squalid, muddy camps in Bangladesh will be in grave danger from landslides when the mid-year monsoon season begins, a

UN humanitarian report said.

There are now more than 9 lakh Rohingyas in the Cox’s Bazar area of Bangladesh, after 6 lakh eighty eight thousand fled violence in Myanmar that flared up in late August. Aid workers say the camps sheltering the new arrivals are completely inadequate.
