Rohingya refugees dwelling in squalid Bangladeshi camps have donated winter garments to survivors of the devastating earthquake in Türkiye, a Rohingya group chief mentioned.
Some 700 blankets and 200 jackets had been donated to the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency’s workplace in Dhaka, Sahat Zia Hero, a contract photographer and Rohingya group chief mentioned on Wednesday.
The donations had been purchased with the small sum of money contributed by the refugees dwelling in camps who’re typically dependent upon worldwide support and different Rohingya dwelling in several components of the world, he mentioned.
“It is our goodwill gesture to the Turkish people, a token of love for the brothers and sisters in Turkey who are living in difficulties,” Hero instructed dpa by cellphone.
“We can feel the pain of being homeless and we call on everyone to stand by the victims with whatever means they can,” he mentioned, including that Turkey was one of many major support suppliers to the Rohingya after they fled violence in Myanmar en masse to cross into Bangladesh in 2017.
The Rohingya group may even purchase baby-diapers and sanitary napkins, which will likely be donated to the Turkish company’s workplace in Dhaka to assist the youngsters and girls within the earthquake devastated areas.
Bangladesh has been internet hosting greater than 1 million Rohingya Muslims in crowded camps within the southern district of Cox’s Bazar after they fled persecution in Buddhist-majority Myanmar.
Of them, almost 750,000 crossed into Bangladesh after Myanmar launched a navy offensive towards the minority group in August 2017.
