She also helps those refugees at Bhasan Char which was built by the Bangladesh government to deal with the overcrowding in Cox’s Bazar.

“The orderly streets and grid system layout is a huge contrast to the chaos and overcrowding of the camps in Cox’s Bazar.”

She added: “However, it can feel isolated with many refugees separated from family members back in Cox’s Bazar”.
