1.2 Million Rohingya Refugees in Need

Since 1978, the Rohingya have faced decades of systematic discrimination, statelessness and targeted violence in the Rakhine State, Myanmar. August 2017, ushered in the largest and fastest refugee exodus into Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh where an estimated 745,000 Rohingya reside in what has become the world’s largest refugee camp.

With an uncertain future, the Rohingya remain in an extremely perilous situation. These refugees remain tremendously vulnerable, living in exceedingly challenging conditions, and dependent on aid for their survival.
