Caritas Bangladesh staff prepare for a food distribution for Rohingya refugees in Monyarghona camp, with CRS support. The Caritas Bangladesh food distribution—consisting of lentils, cooking oil, salt and sugar—is taking place in in Monyarghona camp. Complementary bags of rice are also provided at the distribution by the World Food Program.
The distribution takes into account the special needs of vulnerable groups, including the elderly and women and children. Volunteers are at the ready to carry the heavy food supplies for those who are in special need.
Caritas Bangladesh provides relief assistance to Rohingya refugees across camps in Cox Bazar. Caritas emergency support includes an immediate two-month supply of food rations and kitchen supplies for 10,000 families (nearly 70,000 people), with plans for ongoing food assistance, including emergency shelter, living supplies, water and sanitation, protection social services, and potentially the design and infrastructure support for new camps.
As of October 2017, 700,000 Rohingya Muslims had fled as refugees Bangladesh, with reports of escaping violent conflict in their villages and towns. Boats cross the Naf river with families, children, the elderly, and people who have spent significant funds to pay for the crossing. The needs of refugees from Myanmar are dire—with people arriving hungry, exhausted, and depleted of any resources. Many have faced horrific torture and lost loved ones, including children, in the violence. Their journey to Bangladesh often involved fleeing a direct attack, seeing or watching their houses burn, hiding in the brush as they made their escape over several days and nights, going without food, and crossing streams filled with bodies. The human needs—emotional and physical—are immense.
