Refugees in Bangladesh still desperately need help

Since 25 August 2017, more than 706,000 people have fled violence in Rakhine state in Myanmar to seek safety in Bangladesh.

Most people arrived carrying almost nothing; they are now almost entirely dependent on humanitarian assistance to meet their most basic needs.

Although numbers entering Bangladesh have slowed, urgent needs remain acute and we still face great challenges in this response every single day.

Despite the hard work of humanitarian agencies, basic needs for shelter, water, sanitation, protection, healthcare and psychosocial support are barely met.

Fortunately with your support we can do more to help those in need. Donate to our Myanmar appeal here: https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal...
