Food Package for 4,000 Families Rohingya Refugees

Dear
Our respected donors

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas in the Kutupalong Refugee Camp, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, don't have food supplies enough. According to the ACT Teams on the ground explained that food insecurity among the Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazar is already in an emergency phase.

“The Bangladeshi authority can't do much, since it is not a prosperous country. Most of the Rohingyas can only rely on assistance from countries other than Bangladesh to fulfill their food needs,” .

The ACT teams explained it’s not that the Rohingyas don’t want to strive to fulfill their own food needs, but there are just no available jobs in Cox’s Bazar, not even a casual job.

Food insecurity is one of the problems faced by the Rohingyas. Another problem that they are facing is the lack of proper housing, the Rohingyas in Camp Kutupalong live in shabby tents made of woven bamboo or tarp sheets, and much much more.

“If it rains, since there is a river near the camp, the camp often gets swept by a flood. Meanwhile, the dry season in Cox’s Bazar often turns the area barren, making it prone to wildfire. If a shelter catches fire, the fire will most likely spread to other shelters. It has happened several times,”.

Therefore, the ACT teams encouraged the Generous Friends to help the Rohingyas. Through the benefactors' kindness,  for the Rohingyas to get proper residence and enough food for their daily needs.

Any kind of assistance will be very helpful for them. It’s very important for us to bring happiness to our Rohingya Refugees. Thank you so much for your continues support.

I am reaching you at this uncertain time that still faces every country across the globe. We hope that we could live as just befor the pandemic. 

I kindly inform you that, there are at least 1,300 Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, enjoyed nutritious meal packages delivered Aksi Cepat Tanggap. The meal distribution will last from October 30 to the end of November.

Firdaus Guritno from ACT Foundation ground team reported that the meal packages will be distributed at five locations namely Madrasah Darussalam, Camp 01 Kutupalong, Madrasah Darul Islam, Camp 04 Kutupalong, Balukhali Camp 09, Balukhali Camp 11, and Thaingkhali Camp 19.

“The meal packages are cooked by the refugee volunteers and partners. There is also a team in charge of distributing the packages to the residential areas. Rohingya refugees rarely consumed meat because they are economically weak. They depend solely on humanitarian aid,” 

According to sources, there are approximately 860,000 Rohingyas in camps in Cox's Bazar, which is considered to be the world’s largest refugee settlement. Some 150,000 Rohingyas also live in other countries in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and Indonesia. Around 600,000 Rohingyas stay in Myanmar, some live in camps set up by the government in Rakhine State.

The Rohingya refugees delight to say thank you so much for your generousity and sincere support. Thank you so much and please stay safe and healthy.
