Emergency Fire Relief
Devastating fires are ravaging multiple Rohingya refugee camps. Several camps have burned down; there are believed to be dozens of casualties. Many health facilities have been wiped out, thousands of people made homeless.
Assessments of losses are still underway. Our team has mobilized on the ground and is providing water, food and other assistance to the victims.
