“On 29 August 2022 early morning, Hakim went to RHU again with the papers of privately check up and seeing the papers the on duty doctor referred him to Cox’sbazar hospital by saying Hakim’s kidney has been affected,” Alam said this and added that on the same day the on duty doctors of Cox’s bazar hospital advised to go to Chittagong for urgent required treatment, but due to lack of permission from Camp in Charge (CiC) for going to Chittagong, Hakim had to come back home in severe condition.
“On 1 September the CiC approved his referral petition after lobbying much, and the Medical Team Leader (MTL) of Nayapara base RHU referred Hakim to Cox’s Bazar and then to Chittagong hospital, where Hakim died on Friday noon,” Alam added.

“This is not the new incident to refugees as since last few years the underprivileged refugees have been facing this type of heinous act due to extreme inadvertency of United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other INGOs and NGOs working for refugees in the camps”, the refugees claim.
