Rohingya Refugees are Still Struggling
On Sunday 14 May, Cyclone Mocha devastated the coasts of Bangladesh, shattering the lives of Rohingya refugees living in Cox Bazar. Over 6,000 bamboo shelters were damaged as well as several water and sanitation facilities.
In August 2017, after suffering decades of persecution in Myanmar, armed attacks forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to flee their homes and seek refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh. Currently, there are over 1.1 million Rohingya refugees living in Cox Bazar, the world鈥檚 largest refugee camp, who rely solely on humanitarian aid to survive.
The conditions there are dire, with overcrowding and lack of sanitation being areas of huge concern. Levels of malnutrition are high as cuts to humanitarian aid poses a real risk to families dealing with severe food insecurity.
Residents of the camps are threatened by natural disasters and women and children are vulnerable to violence, exploitation, and human trafficking.
With your support, we have been working with Rohingya refugees since then, providing clean water and sanitation facilities, food supplies, medical care and building temporary shelters as well as operating safe spaces for women and children.
Currently, we are supporting survivors of the Cyclone by rebuilding the bamboo shelters that were damaged and also providing support for the victims of the fire that broke out in Cox Bazar in March.
Please donate today to support our vital work so we can continue to save lives and give hope to our Rohingya brothers and sisters.
