Description:

March 2020 – Following the outbreak of violence in Northern Rakhine State in August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya people crossed from Myanmar into Bangladesh over a period of several months. Currently, there are approximately 855,000 Rohingya refugees living in 34 highly congested settlements in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The speed and scale of the influx has resulted in significant humanitarian needs. With GAC’s support, Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is helping to respond to the immediate needs of refugees in Cox’s Bazar, focusing particularly on vulnerable households and persons with disabilities. Project activities include: (1) providing protection assistance through case management for individuals with specific needs; (2) extending psychosocial support for those affected by trauma; and (3) providing training to community health workers and community leaders on key sexual and reproductive health issues within the community.
