Rohingya Crisis: How Muslim Charity is delivering your donations
At Muslim Charity we believe in accountability and transparency and giving regular feedback to our supporters is a means of us achieving that.
In light of this, we wanted to take this opportunity to update you on the situation in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, and what Muslim Charity has been doing since the recent hostilities began on 25th August 2017.
Over 600,000 people – the majority women and children – have fled violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State. Many have recently arrived in the city of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, which borders Myanmar.
After walking for days, people are already sick and malnourished. Having travelled on foot through the jungle, monsoon rains and intense heat, their lives have been turned upside down. Thousands of people are now camping in the open with little or no shelter on muddy hillsides. They have no access to clean water or toilets.
Muslim Charity has launched a full-scale humanitarian response to the crisis. We’re working with the local partners in Bangladesh to maximise our impact and help children and families who need it most.
What have we done for Rohingya refugees arriving into Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, since 25th August 2017?
