They are facilitated with very basic needs,staying in bamboo shelters and having limited food. Children are allowed to study basic teachings, but adults have no way to get education. Camps are fenced with torn wire and people can’t move freely. Majority are waiting for their repatriation, but the process is still slow. Mohammad Ilias, from kutupalong camp said,” Government has been providing us all facilities. But has restricted our freedom of movement and earnings. This is governments policy. But we as human being feel very frustrated staying in cramped area. Children those who are born here can’t grow mentally healthy as they are growing up in the same place. We are waiting for our repatriation, and we want to go back. But since our repatriation is being delayed, if Government allow us to work and freedom of movement it would be great for us specially for children”.
