difficult to achieve. well the u.n. secretary general is in bangladesh for his says is it too comes hosting about one million refugees from me and the bangladeshi government is seeking more support for the refugees whose risk of being washed away in the moment soon season june joins me now live from coaxes bizarre the conditions that just seem absolutely atrocious comment. yeah they really are fail i mean what you're witnessing right now we're in the middle of right now the government of the. underscores how vulnerable this already extremely vulnerable population for him directly to the they are you know they've been uprooted they've come here they pay so much trauma now they have to battle the elements this is why there is so much concern because of rains like this during the monsoon there is so much concern that there will be
8:21 am
landslides there have been landslides already and there will be more land five according to all the experts that we've been. because the people vilified. that they were going to refugees have their have their bamboo hut on they don't have visitation and because of that it makes it much more prone to the conditions where there would be more landslide where there would be flash flooding much like what we're experiencing. you in here today they're trying to highlight the plight of the rohingya the suffering that they've encountered to try to showcase that to the international community and yesterday we spent time with a woman named sabera big talk about how difficult. now been relocated to another part of the camp so that when rains like this occur it's easier for her here is our report. when sabera back home fled the horrors of me and more and crossed into bangladesh she thought she'd found some safety for her daughter and the rest of her
8:22 am
surviving relatives then the rains came and i knew that then. a landslide damaged part so we had to move to another passion and then we all had to have one small corner. so there is among the approximately forty two thousand people here identified by aid agencies as being at high risk from the elements which means that for her and many other re-injure refugees things are beginning to change for the better together with humanitarian partners who have been working hard to try and mitigate the effects of the monsoon season here especially for. her living in the settlements in the camps xabi amman to tells me many of the areas were hinder refugees settled in this sprawling campsite are prone to natural disasters so today we've had relocations the very families who are living in areas that are high risk of landslides and flooding and we pray like head of them to new sides here in the camp on safer ground where they can be better protected in this
8:23 am
extension to the camp it's a race against time these days the construction is constant. one of the reasons that a program like this is so important is so that an already vulnerable population that's been uprooted that's been so traumatized does not also fall victim to the weather and it's not just the landslides in this not just the floods that pose such a threat during monsoon season the risk of contracting water borne diseases like cholera goes up severely. for so there is family at last some relief a first meal in their new dwelling. on monday when i got my hand little boy over there we suffered a loss for the little ones we complained so many times but no one repaired our homes finally the aid workers told us we would move to a better place and finally today they moved us here it may not look like much but for them right now it makes all the difference in the world are we following
