Rohinya In Kutupalong In Bangladesh.. In Poverty. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

(Source: Unicef)


Hundreds of thousands of people live in Kutupalong in southeastern Bangladesh. How many are they exactly? No one seems to know exactly: 500,000? 700,000? 830,000? And no, actually they do not live there, they vegetate.
They belong to the ethnic group of the Rohingya and have fled here from murder burners, rapists, torturers in Myanmar. With the hope that someone helps them. But there is nobody who helps.

There are only mud, simple huts made of bamboo and plastic sheets and the fear of flooding. There is misery in the largest refugee camp in the world.

Wait, there's someone who helps: Organizations like UNICEF are there to support the many, many refugees. They organize food and medicines, clean wells, help with the construction of huts, erect ditches and ramparts against impending floods.
Unicef's staff filmed the camp with a drone. It reminds me of an apocalyptic scene. But please look for yourself.

All the people who have to vegetate in these camps deserve our attention and compassion. And the helpers of organizations like Unicef deserve our admiration)
