UK sends more relief materials for Rohingyas

The second consignment relief materials for the Rohingyas from the UK arrived at Chittagong Shah Amanat International Air port on Friday morning.

A British aircraft carrying the relief materials weighing around 85 metric tonnes landed at the airport around 7.45 am, says a report on state-owned BSS.

British International Development department logistic officer Mark Queen handed the materials over to Additional Deputy Commissioner Habibur Rahman (Education and ICT), district administration sources said.

Earlier on Thursday, UK sent 98 metric tonnes of relief materials.

Habibur Rahman said the equipment would be sent to Cox's Bazar for the Rohingyas who have crossed into Bangladesh to evade the persecution of the Myanmar military junta.
