Rohingya Refugee Crisis
Since August this year 515,000 Rohingya people have been forced to flee the violence in Myanmar and are now living in temporary camps in Bangladesh. 80% of the refugees are women and children. Villages in Myanmar continue to be destroyed and up to 15,000 people are crossing the border each day.
Many mothers have been forced to flee their homes with their new-born babies and thousands of people are sick and at risk of serious disease. The United Nations Refugee Agency has made an urgent call for more doctors and medical supplies to help manage the growing crisis.
In response to this need, Humanitas is sending our team of medical experts and first responders to provide medical assistance to the Rohingya children and their families living in the camps. We will be working on the ground, in the camps, day and night to treat as many people as possible. With your support we will be able to purchase the medical equipment that we need, when we need it.
