Though the cyclone  Amphan badly affected coastal districts of Bangladesh, Bhasan Char Island remains unaffected amid concerns raised by the international community, says Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen.

Some 50 multipurpose cyclone shelters have been prepared and 256 cyclone preparation programme volunteer units provided cyclone early warning system messages to the community in Rohingya camp as cyclone Amphan is unlikely to hit Cox's Bazar district.

International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has stepped up its support to Bangladesh going beyond Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar to help address the challenges amid coronavirus pandemic and the growing needs at the national level, says its Bangladesh chief.

Bangladesh has urged the British government to provide quarantine facilities for around 500 floating Rohingyas in deep sea engaging one of the Royal Naval ships loitering in the Gulf sea.
