In the midst of heavy monsoon rains, a catastrophic landslide occurred in Camp 14, Hakim Para, Block E-2, devastating the lives of one family. The camp, which houses thousands of Rohingya refugees, was once again faced with the cruel aftermath of nature’s fury. This latest incident claimed the lives of three members from the family of Majhi Kobir Ahmad.
As the skies opened up, relentless rainfall triggered a landslide that crushed three houses to the ground. With the community rushing to rescue those trapped under the muddy debris, it was soon discovered that three members of Majhi Kobir’s family had perished. The family, whose FCN number is 225652, consisted of five members.
The victims of this tragic event are:
- Abdur Rohim
- Abdul Hafez
- Abdul Wahad
Amidst the panic and grief, images from the scene depict the heart-wrenching effort of the community as they scramble through the rain-soaked mud, umbrellas in hand, trying to rescue and recover those buried. The fragile bamboo structures that once sheltered the family now lay in ruins, symbolic of the precarious living conditions the refugees endure every day.
As people gathered around to mourn, questions about safety and preparedness in the refugee camps continue to loom. The family, like so many others, had been surviving in the overcrowded and vulnerable conditions of the camp, which has little protection against natural disasters.
This tragedy serves as a harsh reminder of the fragile existence faced by the Rohingya community in the refugee camps, where the danger is not only from the displacement but also from the unpredictable wrath of nature.
