The humanitarian situation for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh remains dire. UNICEF estimates that 703,000 in Bangladesh are in need of humanitarian assistance.
UNICEF is on the ground supporting in areas including Water & Sanitation (WASH), Child Protection, Nutrition, Health and Education by providing immediate life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable children and their families.
UNICEF continues to be the leader in responding to this humanitarian crisis. UNICEF's comparative advantage is in its ability to work simultaneously in refugee camps and host communities with the government, local and international NGOs and civil society organizations, and coordinate and mobilize their support as needed.
In Cox’s Bazar, UNICEF has four key strategies:
(1) The first is related to saving lives and protecting children and their families in
the refugee camps.
(2) The second is promoting social cohesion and confidence building in the host communities in Ukhiya and Teknaf Sub-districts; and
(3) the third is system strengthening and accelerating program implementation to the rest of the district of Cox’s Bazar.
(4) UNICEF will apply the lessons learnt from the work in the refugee camps and the district of Cox’s Bazar to national strategies and its work in other parts of the country.
Thank you for your support.
