Asked about preparations for Eid-ul-Fitr this year in Pandemic Situation, Md. Amin from Camp 5 said,almost all the Rohingyas who used to work in daily jobs have become unemployed in this lockdown situation. They are now spending their days with only ration. So they can't even think of any additional event on the occasion of Eid. In previous years, they received additional benefits from NGOs or donors, but this year it is almost closed due to lockdowns.

Report: VOA News Reporter: Mohammed Rukon Uddin (Cox’s Bazar) Related item code: 9-P Duration: 7:44 minutes Topic: A Rohingya youth sees no future for their life staying in a cramped area for years. Translation Summary: About 750,000 thousand Rohingya left their homeland due to genocide. More than three and half years over yet Rohingya’s didn’t find any constructive solution for repatriation. Mohammad Shafik who was one among them fled to Bangladesh in 2017. He mentioned the advantages and disadvantages staying here over 3 years. He said,” We don’t know how to thank Bangladesh government for their enormous help for us saving hundreds of thousands lives. They have been constantly providing us our necessities. But at the same time our issue is not moving forward. We were so happy when Gambia filed a case against Myanmar for the atrocities that they have done. But now the internal situation of Myanmar has also become worst since military coup power from NLD. Therefore, we don’t know when our case will find an end. Besides thousands of talented youths are deprived of education and other activities while we are all staying in this cramped area. This is the third time we Rohingyas are celebrating Eid-ul Fitr, one of the holiest and happiest day for Muslims but we can’t find happiness since no one afford to buy new cloths or cook good food. I sometimes ask myself what will happen to us! If we continue staying here then definitely there are many things that would need to take into consideration. I believe and urge international authorities to consider our issue with the fullest priority and establish a permanent solution”.
