Life of human in an inhuman way

The residents of Geneva camps in Bangladesh are the stranded Pakistanis who migrated to the then East Pakistan from the Indian state of Bihar during the partition of the Indian sub-continent in the year of 1947. But when Bangladesh earned it’s independence those migrated Pakistanis who are locally known as Bihari couldn’t manage to return back to Pakistan. After that they are passing an inhuman life. Among the 70 camps around the country the biggest one is the Geneva camp of Mohammadpur, Dhaka. More than 100,000 Biaharis lived in this tiny places and around 90 people share a single toilet! They are enjoying a little health, education and other social services which is way less than the local standard.
