They lack their basic needs and do not have proper accessibilities to general routine things. Mainly because of their constant migration, they get exhausted physically and develop mental illness due to inadequate facilities in their future. They can survive at normal periods, but their situation gets worse during curfew periods because of no food, no shelter, and no employment. The main aim of this topic is to collect the opinions of the general population under the age group of 18-60 about refugees and their hardships during curfew periods. Materials and Methods: The survey was conducted among 150 people of the general population through an online survey. The questionnaire formed contained basic, awareness creating and statistical contents about the topic and related information. Data collected and analyzed using SPSS software, Inferential statistics were done using a Chi-square test, and a P-value of __ampersandsignlt;0.05 was found to be statistically significant. Results: 93.6% knew about refugees, rest 6.4% had no idea, but 33.3% of them thought that they were people working for the government, rest 64.7% replied that they were people who were forced to flee from their origin countries. 81.4% of the population thought that they don__ampersandsignrsquo;t have proper access to their necessities and the rest 14.8% thought they do. 91.7% agreed that they will suffer during curfew periods and the rest 8.3% of them disagreed. Conclusion: Nearly all have understood their situation during curfews, and more than 90% of the population was willing to help, further awareness needs to be spread to take actions as soon as possible.&#13;
