Deadly monsoon destroys 5,000 shelters in Bangladesh Rohingya camps 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseAt least 10 people have died and thousands of shanty homes have been destroyed by monsoon rains in overcrowded Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh’s southeast, officials said Sunday. In the last week alone, two Rohingya minors died and another 6,000 people were left without shelter because of heavy rains. “It’s tough to go to food distribution centres by wading through a swamp of mud,” Nurun Jan, a Rohingya refugee, told AFP. Officials said landslides were increasing in the region because forests had been cleared to make way for the sprawling Rohingya camps.
