17.05.2019A Turkish aid agency has built a village for Rohingya refugees, the majority of whom are Muslims, in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazaar region. Named "Emir Sultan," the village consists of 414 bamboo huts, two water wells, two mosques, a community space and a garbage plant.
"Thanks to these houses, our Muslim brothers and sisters got electricity at their houses for the first time. We have put solar panels on every house," said Halil Asa, a representative of the Humanitarian Relief Foundation (İHH), one of the leading Turkish aid groups." The Rohingya see Turkey as a source of optimism. They see hope when they know you are from Turkey and carry a Turkish flag on your clothes," said the İHH official.
