Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will visit the camp of Rohingya refugees at Ukhiya in Cox’s Bazar on Tuesday.
PM's press secretary Ihsanul Karim said the prime minister will see the living condition of the refugees in different camps, meet the officials and distribute relief materials.
According to the United Nations (UN) the number of Muslim Rohingya fleeing Myanmar to Bangladesh neared 300,000, just two weeks after violence erupted on August 25.
The UN has appealed for aid to deal with a humanitarian crisis. The wave of hungry and traumatized refugees is “showing no signs of stopping”, overwhelming agencies in the Cox’s Bazar region already helping hundreds of thousands displaced by previous tremor of conflict in Myanmar’s Rakhine state, the UN said.
