Night at a refugee camp

Recently, I read a report titled “Night at a refugee camp” (The Daily Star) and was verytouched by it. The way Pinaki Roy and Mohammad Ali Jinnat described their experience of spending a night at a refugee camp was very impressive and left a profound impact on my mind.

Every day we read about Myanmar refugees entering Bangladesh and the amount of relief fund provided by different countries and aid agencies, but the numbers cease to have meaning as we try to understand the pain that those poor souls must have gone through. 

People sleeping under tarpaulins, waiting their turn to freshen up in the middle of the night, listening to sermons on radio even during such an unstable period of their lives, all portrayed the triumph of life over the rampant violation of human rights and oppression. We look forward to reading more such heart-warming reports in the future.
