Turkish students organize aid campaign for Rohingya

A Rohingya family arrives at a UNHCR transit centre near the village of Anjuman Para, Cox’s Bazar, south-east Bangladesh after spending four days stranded at the Myanmar border with some 6,800 refugees. ; As an estimated 600,000 Rohingya sought safety in Bangladesh between late-August and late-October 2017, UNHCR created an extension site and transit centre near Kutupalong refugee camp to shelter new arrivals. Families with young babies, elderly, vulnerable and bereaved people are among the thousands who have fled the latest wave of violence in Myanmar. They came by boat or walked barefoot for days to reach the border, leaving most of their possessions behind. Many arrived in a concerning physical and mental state – some in need of life-saving support. The Bangladeshi Government has allocated some 2,000 acres of land on which family tents and temporary communal shelters have been erected. UNHCR asks for generous donor support to help meet the needs of the refugees and their host communities, and stresses the urgent need to restore peace and stability in northern Rakhine state.
