Predicted to make landfall on Sunday, preparations are under way for a partial evacuation of the camp in Cox’s Bazar
UN refugee agency spokesperson Olga Sarrado said preparations were under way for a partial evacuation of the camp, if needed. The agency was also preparing tens of thousands of hot meals and jerrycans, she said.
“If this turns into the level of cyclone we fear, we really need to be ready,” the WHO’s Margaret Harris told a briefing. Myanmar’s junta authorities were supervising evacuations from coastal villages along the Rakhine coast, according to state media, which did not say how many people had been moved. Any boats leaving shore in Rakhine from Friday afternoon would face legal action, the junta said.
