By early April 2021, the international community continues, Covid-19 restrictions notwithstanding, working in close cooperation with the Government of Bangladesh (GoB), where they together provide assistance to over 855,000 Rohingya living in Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, together with over 440,000 local host Bangladeshis. The majority of the Rohingya live in 34 formally established camps in extremely congested conditions. The humanitarian process is complicated by a number of other factors, these including the stalled repatriation process back to Myanmar (exacerbated now by the early February 2021 military coup in the latter country); planned movement of some refugees by the Government of Bangladesh to Bhasan Char island in the Bay of Bengal; and a major fire at the largest refugee complex (Kutupalong) in March 2021. TorqAid produces a bi-monthly update (latest April/May 2021) of the Summary Sheet ‘Understanding the Rohingya Crisis’ (see below) which highlights key progress on this complex humanitarian operation.
DownloadTorqAid also produces a summary on the series of ‘What Matters?’ humanitarian bulletins (see below), produced by the skilled Communication with Communities (CwC) team of practitioners working out of Cox’s Bazar. This regular buletin, produced in both Bangla (Bengali) and English, summarises key issues of concern and feedback from both Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi host communities.
