The Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) partners- UN agencies and NGOs \u2013 working for Rohingyas have lauded generosity of Bangladesh people for their humanitarian gesture as they have been sheltering over million forcibly displaced Myanmar people in their land.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis day is an important opportunity to honor the strength and resilience of the Rohingyas and the generosity of host communities, raise awareness of the scale of the continuing humanitarian crisis, and reflect on the future of the humanitarian response,\u201d ISCG said in a statement commemorating the three-year-mark of the largest exodus of Rohingyas to Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
Since August 25 in 2017, Bangladesh is hosting over 1.1 million forcefully displaced Rohingyas in Cox\u2019s Bazar district and most of them arrived there after a military crackdown by Myanmar, which the UN called a \u201ctextbook example of ethnic cleansing\u201d and other rights groups dubbed as \u201cgenocide\u201d.<\/p>\n
In the last three years, not a single Rohingya went back home yet although Myanmar agreed to take them back. \u201cBangladeshi people in the villages where the refugees first arrived were the true \u2018first responders\u2019 when refugees arrived in Bangladesh in August 2017, sharing the food they had, opening their homes to provide shelter and showing desperate, traumatized people that humanity still existed,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
UN agencies and over 130 national and international NGOs have supported Bangladesh government to provide life-saving assistance and protection to both displaced people and vulnerable local community, who continue to bear the socio-economic and environmental impact of the influx.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday and every day, the humanitarian community stands in solidarity with the Rohingya refugees and the Bangladeshi communities hosting them and remains committed to staying and delivering until the refugees are able to secure solutions through safe, dignified, sustainable and voluntary return to Myanmar,\u201d said ISCG.<\/p>\n
At the three-year mark, the statement said the ISCG partners in Bangladesh remain focused on meeting the critical needs of the Rohingya refugees and the vulnerable people in the Bangladeshi communities who have hosted them so generously.<\/p>\n
The 2020 Joint Response Plan (JRP) for the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis, which includes new needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and totals more than US$1 billion, is one of the largest humanitarian appeals worldwide this year, it said.<\/p>\n
So far, ISCG said funding commitments have met only 44 percent of the total requirements, creating a risk that critical assistance and services will not reach the people who need it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look to the donor communities to continue demonstrating solidarity with the Rohingya refugees and Bangladesh by providing generous, flexible and sustainable support,\u201d read the statement.<\/p>\n
Over the past three years, it said, Rohingya refugees and humanitarian responders have met many challenges while the Bangladesh government and humanitarian partners are now facing together the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
More than 3,000 refugee volunteers have been trained to conduct awareness sessions aimed at giving people the information they need to protect themselves from COVID-19 and connect them to critical services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
