Owing to the holy month of Ramzan, a Turkish aid group organised Iftar for Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh.
According to Turkey's Anadolu news agency, Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) said it had sent food aid to 25,000 Rohingyas and organised an Iftar for approximately 1,500 people.
TIKA's head of the Balkans and South Europe department Mahmut Cevik, during the programme, recalled the hardships of Rohingya and assured them that Turkey is with them.
The aid agency serves food to 6,000 Rohingya Muslims at the refugee camps on a daily basis.
About 750,000 Rohingya had fled Myanmar after country's forces began a crackdown on the minority Muslim community in August 2017.
According to an NGO, Doctors Without Borders, from August 25 to September 24 in 2017, at least 9,000 Rohingya were killed in Myanmar's Rakhine state.
