Heavy rains have caused severe structural damage to camps in Bangladesh hosting over one million Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, the UN has said. Some 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar’s Rakhine State to Bangladesh since August last year when the army launched a violent crackdown, resulting in a major crisis in neighbouring Bangladesh.

The Rohingya criris has been termed as one of the worst in the word since more than 9,000 have been affected. This number is expected to rise as the monsoon rains, which lashed the camps for the last two days, continue, the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) said. More than 30,000 camp residents are still living in areas considered to be at high risk of deadly flooding and landslides, it said. The situation in the camps is growing more desperate with every drop of rain that falls, reported PTI.Click Here: collingwood magpies 2019 training guernsey
