f you travel south from Cox’s Bazar, a
small port city on Bangladesh’s
southeastern coast, the drive along
the world’s longest natural beach seems
rather pleasant. Scenic, even. But an
hour into the journey and it all begins to
change. The roads get narrower and
muddier. The beach disappears. And
looming in front, as far as the eye can
see, is a vast conglomeration of human
settlements that ought to be called a ‘ci
ty’ but is the opposite of one, with its
own version of the normal.
The fi rst sign of the new ‘normal’
comes not far from the city’s entry
point: a young man’s body lies in the
middle of the street. There are no visi
ble wounds on the body, but blood
trickles out of the mouth. An older wo
man, presumably his mother, bends ov
er him, sobbing, while a small crowd
around them is engaged in heated argu
ment.
Not only are altercations common,
but they often end in violence, say aid
workers stationed at the largest refugee
camp in the world. Early this month,
the head majhi of Balukhali camp, 35
yearold Arif Ullah, was hacked to death
by unknown assailants. In January,
another camp leader, 60yearold Yusuf
Ali, was stabbed to death. Days before
Ali’s death, Mohammad Yusuf, leader of
the neighbouring Thaingkhali camp,
was shot dead.
The police and aid workers say a
struggle for control of supplies to the
camps is behind much of the violence.
“We are advised not to get involved in
fi ghts within the camps. They often turn
ugly and there is nothing we can do,”
says a social worker who landed in Cox’s

refugee camps.
