The humanitarian crisis caused by escalating violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State caused suffering on a catastrophic scale. Rohingya refugees have fled across the border from Myanmar to Bangladesh and from August 2017 till mid-December- 2020 makeshift camps in Cox’s Bazar were hosting some 1.35 millions forcibly displaced Myanmar people. Refugees arriving in Bangladesh mostly women and children were traumatized, and some have arrived with injuries caused by gunshots, shrapnel, fire and landmines. More than two years have already passed since the Rohingyas crossed into Bangladesh with nothing. Children and their mothers have been living in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar with difficult access to health and recurring epidemic threats due to monsoon rains and cold wave. Covid-19 also caused further difficulties to ensure their health. Recently some 2,500 Rohingyas have been shifted to Bhashan Char, Noakhali and provided with better support. Mawlana Abdur Rashid Social Welfare Association-MARSA provides them with both food and non-food items.

The success of the “Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation Program” lies in its ability to provide swift and targeted assistance during crises while simultaneously laying the groundwork for sustainable recovery. By prioritizing the needs of affected communities and fostering resilience, we aim to contribute to the long-term well-being and stability of those grappling with the impacts of emergencies.
