At Block B1- L6 of Balukhali β 2 makeshift camp an open gutter running throughout the camp have left the sheltering Rohingyaβs lives miserable in the area.
The situation has turned up to worst level, where now people are unable to pray, sleep and even breathe properly.

βYes cleaners do come here like other area but they just do very minor cleaning in front on the shelters and they never clean properly,β saya a religious teacher from the area.
βThe students comes to the Maktab (religious school) but due to the smell they cannot study properly,β he add further.
To ease their sufferings they are requesting to Bangladesh government and INGOs working in the camp to look up into the situation as soon as possible.
This is not the first camp where Rohingya are suffering due to the lack of cleanliness, earlier many similar cases were reported from several makeshift camps with similar sufferings.
