"Our hearts are out with the family of the deceased," said the interim government.
Camp officials said five people, including 43-year-old Neyamot Ullah, were injured during the event and were rushed to nearby hospitals.
Neyamot Ullah was declared dead at one of the hospitals.
A postmortem is expected to determine the cause of the death.
Of the four injured Rohingya men, two have since returned home after receiving first aid.
"The conditions of the other two were stable. Doctors said they were out of danger," said the press wing.
The chief adviser condoled the death of the Rohingya man.
He also thanked the Rohingya community for joining the Ramadan Solidarity Iftar event.
It is estimated that 100,000 Rohingyas joined the iftar and broke their fast with visiting UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the chief adviser.
