Realities of a Refugee
While I was reading about what the Rohingya refugees are going through at the Kutupalong camp, all I could feel was saddnes and extreme frustration. It is so hard to have to leave your home because of such terrible violence, only to end up in a refugee camp where things aren't much better. Which unfortunately is a very common reality. However with Kutupalong being the world's biggest refugee camp, you would assume it is supposed to be a safe place. The reality is it's now home to almost a million people stuck in worse conditions with food running low and gang violence all around the camp.
It's really upsetting how the world seems to have forgot these people. Back in 2017, there was lots of sympathy and help, but now, international aid has slowed down a lot, and the Rohingya have to face this tough reality alone. Some of them are even risking deadly boat trips across the sea to places like Aceh, Indonesia, thinking their chances are better on unsafe boats then in the camp.
What makes me really upset is how there are rules stopping education and work have made things even more worse for them. In the camp the Bangladeshi government doesn’t allow the Rohingya children to go to local schools and there are very few schools inside the camp itself. This means that many kids miss out on a proper education, which is crucial for their own futures. The limited education options they do have are often not enough to give them the skills they need to get good job later. This lack of schooling keep them trapped in a cycle of poverty and helplessness.
The world needs to remember the Rohingya and try to help, whether it's by giving more aid, moving them to safer countries, or pushing Bangladesh to let them work and learn. This crisis just shows how fast the world can forget suffering, and it's a reminder for everyone to push for real solutions for problems like these.
