Back in August 2017, following the largest exodus against Rohingya nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees fled violence and ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Burmese government in Myanmar, yet the uncertainty of the future haunts thousands of Rohingya refugees living in refugee camps of Bangladesh. Let\’s briefly go over the horrible living conditions of refugee camps in order to understand the graveness of the Rohingya emergency and what we can do to make things better for Rohingya refugees.
Rohingya Emergency: How to help Rohingya Refugee Children
Children are the most vulnerable in the face of the Rohingya emergency. Rohingya children greatly suffer due to child labour, discrimination, exploitation, human trafficking, molestation, and severe lack of essentials such as nutritious food and clean drinking water sources. In addition to all these, Rohingya children are highly prone to various lethal diseases that erupt due to inadequate sanitation and consumption of stagnant water.
Furthermore, the Rohingya children are deprived of quality education which makes them prone to the risk of becoming a lost generation. Without education, these children will never be able to earn a livelihood that will help them build the life they truly deserve.
In this way, these children will always remain behind children who received a quality education. Hence it is quite important to provide Rohingya children with quality education.
Here at Ekplatebiryani, we have been making constant efforts to deliver essential supplies to Rohingya refugee camps for helping the vulnerable children who are unable to help themselves.
Moreover, we have been making efforts to provide the Rohingya children with quality education so that they grow up to be empowered adults capable of transforming their lives. You can make your contributions by donating to us in order to help thousands of Rohingya children live miserable life.
Camp Conditions for Rohingya Children and Families
The influx of Rohingya refugees to Bangladesh following the largest exodus in the world has turned into a Rohingya emergency. Thousands of Rohingya refugees have sought refuge in refugee camps on the outskirts of Bangladesh however, this isn’t where the struggle of Rohingya refugees ends.
Due to the migration of refugees in such large quantities, the refugee camps have become overly crowded and pose serious threats of dangerous fires. In fact, 93% of the Rohingya refugees live below the UNHCR emergency standard that is set at 45 square meters per person.
Apart from that, the largest refugee camp in the world, Cox\’s Bazar, Bangladesh where currently most Rohingya refugees have found shelter is among the most natural-disaster prone areas of Asia. Coastal areas of Cox’s Bazar are prone to seasonal cyclones that sweep away thousands of makeshift camps and settlements of Rohingya refugees. Apart from this, heavy showers of rain and disastrous monsoon season displace tons of Rohingya refugees forcing them to survive without a roof along with destroying their assets and only sources of income such as livestock.
Furthermore, the highly congested Rohingya refugee camps are always at a high risk of fires breaking out. In fact, recently serious fires broke out that resulted in mass destruction of Refugee camps and whatever little they managed to build from scratch.
Lastly, due to congestion these refugee camps have limited supplies of essentials such as food and water. As a result, Rohingya refugees are forced to survive on super limited sources which lead to hunger and malnutrition.
