Disaster relief plans have been made for Rohingya refugee camps along the Bangladeshi border with Myanmar in case Tropical Cyclone Fani hits the vulnerable, low-lying areas, according to UNHCR, the UN refugee agency.
In a tweet, the UNHCR said it had almost 150 emergency response containers at refugee camps in the east of the country: "They hold family tents, sleeping mats, blankets, buckets, aqua tabs, plastic sheets, rope, and will ensure quicker response to save lives, if needed."
Key among the items are the emergency tents which can be "rapidly deployed" should families' makeshift shelters collapse in the strong winds.
