Due to the heavy wind and rain, landslide occurred in few areas, which destructed few toilets and bath houses.
Such destruction have increased the fear of transmitting diseases and contamination of drinking water.
These situations have added to the suffering for the Rohingya, whom are already lingering without proper food and medication.
