Azizur Rahman is 60 years old. He arrived at the Rohingya refugee camp in 2017. Today, he lives there with his wife, four daughters, and four sons.
He lost one of his children while coming to the camp. Another child who lives with him has a heart condition and cannot work. Azizur Rahman is no longer able to work, and only one of his children earns an income for the family. Because of this, they struggle to access enough food.
Life in the camp is difficult, he says.
“Before I came to the refugee camp, I had my own home. In my village, I used to see my neighbors often. Now everyone is living in poverty, and people cannot help each other.”
When he heard that Qurbani would be carried out in the camp, he was very happy.
“I can’t wait to share the Qurbani meat with my family,” he says.
