Some of her fellow Bangladeshi migrants in Lebanon alleged that she died for lack of timely treatment and negligence of the Bangladesh embassy in Beirut, which the embassy officials denied.
In the last five months before her death, Maksuda was so sick that she could not move anywhere. “She had two tumors in her stomach. She was also suffering from kidney complications for several months,” Masud Rana, a fellow migrant, told The Daily Star over the phone from Lebanon on the day she died.
