FOCUS 2024
ROHINGYA REFUGEE CRISIS
SITUATION OVERVIEW
WHO: ½ Million Rohingya Muslim Children
WHY: Ethnic cleansing by the military regime in Myanmar
NEEDS: Food, water, medical care including immunizations, education, political rights, child-safe spaces (especially for girls)
In 2017 the Myanmar military launched a violent crackdown on Rohingya Muslims in what the UN has described as a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing." The large-scale campaign of killings and other abuses forced over 900,000 Rohingya to flee to neighboring Bangladesh. The United Nations has described the Rohingya as "the most persecuted minority in the world."
Over half of these refugees are children.
After being exposed to unspeakable violence and brutality, they now face extremely dangerous living conditions in the world's largest refugee camp: disease and malnutrition are rampant, education is woefully inadequate, and abuse, exploitation and gender-based violence are constant threats.
These children and their families, with no legal identity or citizenship, rely entirely on humanitarian assistance.
OUR CALL TO ACTION
Organizations such as UNICEF and the UN Refugee Agency are on the ground to provide water and sanitation; health services including immunizations and the establishment of diarrhoeal treatment centers; support for access to quality education; and prevention and assistance measures for children affected by violence, abuse and neglect.
Currently, according to the UN, their efforts there are underfunded by over 50%
Our goal is to raise $50,000 in support of this vital and urgent work.
