"Rohingyas, displaced from Myanmar for the past 32 years, have found refuge in Bangladesh. The people of Bangladesh have stood by the Rohingya refugees from the beginning," Arman Ilahi and Saydul Huq, organisers from the refugee committee, said.
They said Rohingyas also want to be partners in alleviating the sorrow and hardship of those affected by floods in Bangladesh.
The Rohingya team distributing relief materials said their support activities for the flood victims will continue.
Mohammad Mizanur Rahman, the Refugee Relief and Repatriation Commissioner (RRRC), however, said that the Rohingya team did not seek any permission before leaving the camp to distribute relief.
"No one has obtained any permission for the Rohingyas to distribute relief activities among the flood-affected people," he said.
He said the government's intelligence agencies and relevant authorities have been informed.
