The Algerian humanitarian relief activist Bouzid Shanaf described Rohingya’s suffering as beyond all imagination, and that the situation of the refugees in Bangladesh is much worse than that transmitted or filmed through satellite channels and social channels.

Shanaf stressed that he personally stood for the untold suffering of the tens of thousands of displaced people fleeing daily death in Arakan province for slaughter, murder, torture, gang rape, amputation and other unimaginable atrocities.

Shanaf’s speech follows his return from Bangladesh after he was a member of the Algerian convoy that took part in a relief campaign for displaced Rohingya Muslims on the Bangladeshi-Myanmar border.

Activist Bouzid Shanaf, who met with Al-Shorouq newspaper in his hometown of Biskra, immediately after his return with Al-Baraka Association in the relief convoy, explained how he personally stood in the camps of the displaced, the thousands who were dying daily drowning in the Naf River during their desperate attempts to escape from The hell of suffering in Myanmar, and also spoke of the tragic and inhumane situation of Muslim refugees in the camps.

“The faces are pale yellowed by hunger, thirst and the hardship of the road while escaping to the other side of the river in Bangladesh,” Shanaf said. “If they survive death and hell practiced in Myanmar, they will not easily survive in the camps under dire conditions.
