Refugees arriving from Rakhine state, Myanmar. Following the recent communal violence in Myanmar has forced more than 670,000 people to flee their homeland and seek asylum in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The people who managed to cross over came with mere belongings, brining only what matters the most, family members and little savings to get by.

Right after their arrival, the refugees from Myanmar were faced with further difficult situation. It was late-monsoon, rain was pouring down and hundreds and thousands of women, children and men were living under open sky. As immediate emergency response, CARE Bangladesh reached out to 2,300 families with umbrellas to fight the monsoon, until basic settlements were set up.

Most of the refugees from Myanmar are settling down in make-shift camps in Kutupalong, Potibunia and others. But the late-monsoon is making still making their daily lives very difficult.

CARE has set up a woman friendly space (WFS) at Potibunia Camp in Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. The WFS supports Myanmar refugee women through counselling, psycho-social support, recreational activities and referral linkage. The WFS has been set up as part of “WASH and Protection Support for Myanmar Emergency in Bangladesh” project, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Australia. CARE is in the process of setting up some more WFS.

1/17/18: CARE/FDSR Health Center, Balukhali Camp. Recording: CAREBangladesh_17_01_18_HealthCenterBalukhali.CONSENT.Tayeb (translating): This health center is for all illnesses. They treat pregnant people, diarrhea, and other illnesses also. They’re organizers so basically different people are playing different roles, you know. Some of them are maintaining the registration, the patient is coming and they’re getting the registration from people, and some of them are going outside to encourage people to come here. And once they will get here, she is basically a paramedic. So she will write the prescription, and in those cases they have some doctors here. So this is the role they’re playing here.

CARE Bangladesh, in partnership with the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) has launched two Temporary Community Clinics for Myanmar refugees to provide sexual and reproductive health and primary health care services. The Clinics will also serve as Immunization (EPI) Centers and offer other government health services for women, men, adolescent and children. FDSR, one of our national partners, is providing support to implement activities on the ground. In line with the MoU signed earlier, the DGHS has committed to provide doctors and free medicines for the Clinics. CARE, on the other hand is responsible for setting up the infrastructure, and providing personnel like paramedics, ambulance services for referral cases and other technical assistance. CARE is thankful to Glaxo SmithKline for funding.

1/16/18 Potibonia Camp, where CARE's base is. Camp is 22,000 Rohinga refugees, more than half of which are children. One of the key responsibilities of the girls is fetching water many times a day. The girls are often bejeweled and dressed up. Child marriage is very common, most girls getting married between ages 12 and 16, and it is not uncommon to meet an 18 y/o w 2 or 3 children; this tradition is meant to protect the girls from rape and assault, and to begin having children as soon as possible. Few children attend schools and illiteracy rates are very high. Schools in the camps are really just getting started (BRAC), since the initial needs of the refugees - shelter, sanitation and food were first priorities.

CARE Bangladesh has distributed shelter kits and shelter tool kits to 1100 HH between December 21 and 26 in collaboration with our national partner RIC (Resource Integration Centre). With funding from CARE Netherlands and LDS Charities (Latter-day Saints Charities), this was the first round of distribution that took place at Potibonia camp (Safiullahkata/ Maynargona-2). As part of distribution, each family received the followings items: bamboo (24 pieces), rope (30 m), wire (25 m) and 220 sets of Tool Kit (1 for each 5 HHs). The tool box contained claw hammer (2), handsaw (2), machete (2), Tukri/Bamboo basket (5), shovel (2), hoe (2), and digging bar (2). Moreover, CARE has already provided necessary briefing and instructions to 4000 HH (1 from each HH, Male or Female) as to how to use these shelter materials and toolkits effectively to build better and stronger shelters in safer places to avoid risks such as heavy rains and land slide. CARE plans to distribute shelter materials and shelter tool kits to all 5100 HHs living in this camp site, within the next 3 months.

CARE Australia Chief Executive Sally Moyle and Oxfam Australia Chief Executive Helen Szoke along with Senator Claire Moore and Senator Sharon Claydon from Australia visited a number of Myanmar Refugee Camps in November 2017. Their visit cover different activity undertaken by CARE e.g. health centers, centers that treat children with severe acute malnutrition, WASH and others.

She told no one about it. The only person was her eldest son, who was killed shortly after he got to know. His last memories were of his mother screaming his name after armed men had entered their home. “I sent my children away into the jungle and just went back to lock the door. But I was too late, two men pushed in the door and grabbed me,” Hamida says with tears running down her face. The words thereafter do not leave her lips easily. “They raped me,” she whispers. This was about six months ago, just after Hamida and her husband fled with their remaining children to Bangladesh to seek safety from mass killings and persecution in their village. But her life in the overcrowded camps is not the safe haven she had hoped for. Her husband left her for his other wife and she now looks after her five children by herself. Afraid of the threats she received if she dares to speak ill of him, she keeps quiet. In a camp of today more than 900,000 people, the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar became the site of the world’s fastest growing refugee crisis. Over 680,000 refugees made the perilous journey from neighboring Rakhine State in Myanmar into Bangladesh in just six months escaping violence, death and destruction. The concentration of refugees is now among the densest in the world. CARE has been working in the refugee camps since the beginning of the crisis providing emergency shelter, medical support, clean water, sanitation, gender-based violence support and more.

Arob is sitting in her dark and humid tent by herself. For the 17-year old, the four thin plastic and iron walls have become the boundaries of her new home and freedom. She is only allowed to leave these 8 sqm for about one hour a day. “Women are supposed to stay inside. My husband does not want me to go outside, where other men could see me,” Arob says quietly. She is not the only one in the camp of over 300,000 newly arrived women in Bangladesh facing such limitations.
