Uncertain times: Norul (foreground)carrying Ramadan food aid from Mercy Malaysia at Kutupalong camp near Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

ON Saturday, Norul Amin, a 35-year-old Rohingya Muslim refugee, carried on his shoulder a sack of food relief aid that would feed his family of eight for two weeks in Kutupalong camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

This is what he received from Mercy Malaysia: 30kg of rice, 5kg of lentils, five litres of vegetable oil, 5kg of beans, 10kg of potatoes, 5kg of onions, 2kg of micronutrient-fortified biscuits and 1kg each of spices, sugar and salt
