But it has been about 2-years that the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic is frequently imposed in the camp. And the aids and support of different NGO/Agency are seldom distributed because NGO/Agency staff are not able to come to the camp So, people are facing difficulties for being deprived of those aid. Children who studied under the Community Development Project-CODEC, Bangladesh Rural advance Committee-BRAC and other NGO/Agency before COVID-19 outbreak are now getting deprived of education since the beginning of lockdown of COVID-19 pandemic. Besides, Ali said that the majority people used to work daily to buy medicines, fish, vegetables and others as they do not get all necessary things from NGO/Agency. But their misery have increased due to repeated lockdowns. People are also suffering because their roofs are leaking and fences have broken down. But people are still grateful to the government of Bangladesh for giving shelter and continuously supporting. They hope that Bangladesh as well as international community will continuously support until repatriation to Burma.
