PM Sheikh Hasina to visit Rohingya camp in Ukhiya

Staff Correspondent: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will visit Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhiya on Tuesday (September 12) to meet Rohingya Muslims who have taken shelter there, fleeing fresh violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

A press release issued from Prime Minister's press wing confirmed the matter on Sunday.

Earlier, on September 7, Turkey’s first lady Emine Erdoğan and a delegation of Turkish politicians and heads of Turkish aid agencies visited Rohingya refugee camps in Ukhia.

According to the United Nations (UN) the number of Muslim Rohingya fleeing Myanmar to Bangladesh neared 300,000, just two weeks after violence erupted on August 24.
