Continuous heavy rainfall in Cox’s Bazar has raised serious concerns about the safety of thousands of Rohingya refugees living in makeshift shelters, particularly in camps located on hillsides and low-lying areas.
The torrential rain has increased the risk of landslides and flooding, threatening the fragile shelters built from bamboo and tarpaulin. Many families are now facing the possibility of being displaced once again, this time by natural hazards.
According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), aid workers and Rohingya refugee volunteers are working together on the ground to warn residents about potential dangers and assist them in relocating to safer areas. Their timely efforts are helping to reduce the risk of injury and loss.
As the monsoon season intensifies, humanitarian organizations are on high alert, emphasizing the urgent need for disaster preparedness and stronger infrastructure in the camps to protect vulnerable populations.
