1. Major flood on last 31 July 2021. During the monsoon seasons we can’t move properly one place to other place. Every single year we face problems with monsoon season and people lost life by landslide.

2. We Rohingya refugees face hunger and loss of hope. We get support from WFP only $12 for a person in a full month. So it’s really very tough to manage ours children, we are unable to provide them theirs favourite food.

3. Conflagrations are common in the camp. One such event separated a mother from her son in the ensuing chaos. They were reunited a day later – Very often, street is the only open space in the cramped camps to play in.

4. Fire incident at Rohingya refugee camp 5 on last 7th January 2024. 800 shelter destroyed, 93 partially damaged, 120 facilities damaged. We live here with few resources, and are surviving with the limited food and items that humanitarian agencies are able to provide, since we are living our lives in this way, when a fire happens then every thing we have is gone. Fire prevention is really important for us.

5. On Last 24th May 2024. A massive fire erupted at camp 13 in Cox’s Bazar, resulting in the destruction of around 221 shelters. Moreover, 72 WASH facilities, including latrines, bathing facilities, and both deep and shallow tube wells, were severely damaged.

6. Major flood on last 25th July 2024. Every single year we face problems with the monsoon season and people losing life by landslide. Rain is not romantic for everyone, basically not for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

Photographer living in the world’s largest refugee camp of Kutupalong in Bangladesh where he reports the condition of the Rohingya people that fled from ethnic and religious persecution in Myanmar. The artist documents his everyday life with outstanding humanity and opens the door to a new world. Paternalism-free, Khan unveils the life of the camp and the ordinary struggles and hope of his people, alternating everything with balance and naturalness and giving us a conscious and elegant insight into a completely different existence. The artist says Hopefully, my children will grow up in a different environment. One day they will look at these photographs and remember what we went through. I hope people will see my photographs and understand our struggles and the refugee life. Mohammed Salim Khan’s photographs have been published in Dhaka Tribune, Aljazeera, Southeast Asia Globe, Borderless360, AFP, and The Business Standard, among others.
