Cox's Bazar, Aug 25 (EFE/EPA).- From the overcrowded camps in Bangladesh that house hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees, Mohammad Jubair on Tuesday marked a grim milestone: the third anniversary of the Myanmar military offensive that led to the exodus of at least 738,000 members of this mainly-Muslim minority from Rakhain state, where they had lived for generations. Restrictions imposed in the camps to contain the spread of the coronavirus have prevented him and other refugees from taking part in protests to demand security and citizenship guarantees from Myanmar as pre-conditions for their repatriation, as he did last year at the massive demonstration involving some 100,000 Rohingya.FOOTAGE OF REFUGEE CAMP IN COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH, SHOT AT THE END OF JULY, 2020.
Cox's Bazar, Aug 4 (EFE/EPA)-. Nur Ahmed, a Rohingya refugee, paid 40,000 taka ($470) to a trafficker to get on a boat in search of a better life in Malaysia, a trip that turned into a nightmare, like that of many other refugees who would rather risk dying at sea than live in Bangladeshi camps. Nur was one of 492 people that set sail on a Malaysian fishing boat in February, with the help of a Rohingya broker in the Kutupalang camps. The journey was supposed to take six days so no one was allowed to bring food. "If someone brought food the ship-men would seize it from them," said the 23-year-old Nur. But nothing went as planned.

Due to the hardship I decided to send my son Mohammad Alam (30) to Malaysia. To overcome our hardship, he left the house three months ago with a promise that ‘anyhow I will reach there.’ He floated in the sea for 40 days. Now he is detained in Bhasan Char. His mobile phone was taken away, so we cannot take any news. I heard from people that he is sick. The skin disease of scabies is eating him up. He could not eat food properly. I want my son back at home. We will manage somehow with his income. 2. CHALIM, A 52-YEAR-OLD REFUGEE My daughter Nur Qaeda got married with a boy living in Malaysia three years ago. She was held while travelling to Malaysia with the help of a trafficker her husband contacted. I heard she was kept in Bhasan Char but I am not getting any news of her.
