It's been three years since violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State forced hundreds of thousands of Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh. Since then home has been the crowded Cox's Bazar refugee camp. BBC Bangla's Shahnewaj Rocky has revisited the camp and met some of the children living there.

After spending more than a month in the world's largest refugee camp mostly on my own, a friend and fellow photographer joins as we discover, listen and learn from the Rohingya people in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.

Coronavirus has brought up new challenges locally and globally, how do these challenges affect refugees and internally displaced people living on resettlement camps?How has the Coronavirus made a difficult and precarious living situation more complicated for internally displaced people and refugees? What is it like to live through this pandemic in a camp setting? And what are community members, organizations and governments doing to build community’s resilience and preparedness in camps? We hear from YPSA in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh and a resident of Sittwe Camp in Myanmar. How is information being disseminated about Coronavirus and how are people adapting to social distancing?

So far, COVID-19 has mostly impacted countries with decently functioning health care systems. However, experts and the WHO have expressed a great worry. What happens should we see clusters of cases where there is no good health system? This includes poorer countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and populations in the midst of some humanitarian crisis.  To help us understand the potential impact of coronavirus on vulnerable populations around the world is Dr. Paul B. Spiegel. He is the director of the Center for Humanitarian Health at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, where he also works as a professor.  As it happens, Paul B. Spiegel was in the midst of a project to model scenarios around COVID-19 and the Rohingya refugee population in a region of Bangladesh called Cox's Bazar. We spend a good bit of time discussing that particular humanitarian crisis, while also discussing the broader implications of COVID-19 spreading to places that are already in the midst of a crisis.    https://www.undispatch.com/

En julhälsning från Sveriges Radios korrespondent. Stockholm, tisdag 24 december. Julafton. Och i dag ska jag ringa min syster som bor i södra Europa. Där firar de i och för sig jul först i morgon, men hon är svensk och det här är ju en dag då vi förväntas tänka lite extra på varandra. Telefonsamtalen blir kanske mest: hur långt har ni kommit med julmaten?, men ändå. Det finns också en hel del andra som jag skulle vilja ringa till om det bara gick, och om jul alls betyder något för dem. Till exempel till den afghanske tjugoåringen Kaisalami som försökte tjäna ihop några euro om dagen som frisör i backen, i kanten av det ökända flyktinglägret Moria på den grekiska ön Lesbos. Han hade fixat en stol, en sax, en kam och någon sprejflaska och hängt en spegel på trädstammen. Han var full av skratt och hopp om att snart få börja ett lugnt liv i Europa. Jag skulle vilja ringa och säga inte god jul! men: må du få lite ro i den täta trängseln av människor som sover på presenningar runt dig och din familj. Det är kallt nu och varje natt är en kamp. Ja, Kaisalami, må du behålla ditt hopp för du är garanterat fast just nu på Lesbos. I London finns en butik i Covent Garden som samarbetar med en grupp frivilligarbetare på Lesbos. Varje julklappsköp i London leder till julklappar till de asylsökande på Lesbos. De får det allra mest efterfrågade sovsäckar, tält och förnödenheter. Jag skulle också vilja kunna ringa till Centralafrikanska republiken, till Bambari där jag var häromveckan och fråga en av de där killarna som ingick i blåsorkestern om julen betyder något för dem? De var kristna centralafrikaner på flykt undan det hejdlösa våldet inom sitt eget land. Blåsinstrumenten var gjorda av trädrötter. Det var obegripligt fattigt. Ryms jul i kampen om att överleva? Religion och julfirande har förstås inte längre någon direkt koppling. I det buddistiska Thailand, i shoppingens Mekka Bangkok stod granen stor och pyntad utanför varuhuskomplexet på Sukhumvit Road redan den första november. Glitter med stjärnor prydde entrén till grannkomplexet allt för att pigga upp konsumenterna. Granen av plast var hög och pyntad med stora papier maché-djurhuvuden i glada färger. Det är många fler som jag tänker på och skulle vilja kunna ringa till. Paul från Kamerun, ekonomen i vit skjorta som lyckats ta sig till Rom i båt över Medelhavet, men som inte fick något jobb. Belal, rohingyakillen från Myanmar, som jag mötte i flyktinglägret Kutupalong i södra Bangladesh och senare som servitör i staden Cox's Bazar. Också femtonårige tunisiske Monir, som tänkte köpa ny GPS för att åter sätta sig i en båt tillsammans med sina kompisar och styra mot Lampedusa. De svarar inte längre på sina mobilnummer, så jag kan tänka på dem i dag, men inte längre ringa. För att själv komma i julstämning var jag häromkvällen i kyrkan och hörde musik från tolv olika europeiska länder, i en julkonsert.

Rohingyas who forces to migrate from Myanmar to Bangladesh, relocated to Bashan Char.

De rohingyiska flyktingarna i Bangladesh har överlag ett dåligt hälsotillstånd, rapporterar Läkare utan gränser. Ekots migrationskorrespondent Alice Petrén har besökt ett fältsjukhus i Bangladesh. Rohingyerna tvingades fly för drygt två år sedan när Myanmars militär fördrev dem i vad FN kallat en etnisk rensning. Död, våldtäkt och nedbrända hus var metoderna för att tvinga iväg muslimerna. Över 700 000 kom på kort tid över gränsen till Bangladesh, dit flera hundra tusen redan fanns i läger. Biståndsorganisationen Läkare utan gränser driver ett fältsjukhus till rohingyer. Vår migrationskorrespondent Alice Petrén har besökt organisationens fältsjukhus utanför flyktinglägret Balukhali. Alice Petrén, Cox's Bazar alice.petren@sverigesradio.se

Hello   Hi and welcome to the latest MOAS podcast where we'll be talking about MOAS's operations in Yemen.   We'll also be speaking to Don Magbanua the manager of Strategic Partnerships and Resource Mobilization at ADRA Yemen who'll be giving us some insights on what it's like to provide assistance on the ground in Yemen today. I'm Ruby.   And I'm Kate    OK so we'll start by just providing a bit of context. Kate, could you give us a brief background to what's been going on in Yemen?   Since 2015, Yemen, which already the poorest Arab state, has been ravaged by civil war which the UN has been calling the world's worst man made humanitarian disaster. The war has developed into a complex protracted conflict with multiple armed groups over 30 front lines and multiple external forces exerting their own political will and power within the country. The human costs have been simply immense.   They think that nearly 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict so far. Which is just unimaginable tragedy. And among the survivors, 2.2 million of them have been forced to leave their homes and find safety in other parts of Yemen. We call these internally displaced peoples or IDPs. And these civilians are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance.   Following on from a close working relationship with ADRA in Bangladesh, delivering aid and providing healthcare in the refugee camps of Cox's Bazar, we once again partnered up with ADRA for a new mission in Yemen.   ADRA is an international NGO that's been established in Yemen since 1995. That's an amazing 14 year commitment to the Yemeni people. They're active across 14 governates in sectors like food security, WASH, education and health and it's a real privilege to partner with them in Yemen and contribute in a small way to their incredible work. So now it's time to hear from Don who kindly agreed to answer some questions we had about working in Yemen.   First, we asked him about the kind of challenges that ADRA other humanitarian organisations face.   The main challenges with providing humanitarian assistance in Yemen is linked to the access constraints that humanitarian organisations face. In Yemen, there are challenges that we deal with security, with authorities, with funding availability, that hinder us from providing much needed aid in Yemen.     There Don touched on some of the issues facing our humanitarian work in Yemen. Actually, even prior to the civil war, Yemen was already importing 80-90% percent of its staple foods. And now, with blockades and armed violence, delivery routes have become almost impossible, certainly dangerous and unpredictable.   Absolutely and there are 10 million Yemeni civilians now reliant on food aid for survival, additionally a third of the bombing targets in Yemen have been civilian - such as schools hospitals, community centres and this instability has led to a breakdown in infrastructure, And also the frontlines of the conflict are always shifting, which means that it’s hard for aid groups to access populations that are most in need because of continuing instability and violence in different regions.     So earlier we mentioned that the conflict in Yemen has become a protracted crisis. The concept of a protracted crisis was actually explored last month in the latest series of blogs on the MOAS website, do check it out if you get chance. So UNHCR defines a protracted crisis as lasting five years or more without an end or resolution in sight.   Yeah, it’s an extremely complicated situation, there's multiple armed groups, ongoing instability and this conflict is really having a devastating impact on Yemeni civilians   So next we asked Don how this affects healthcare systems in Yemen   The protracted nature of the conflict in Yemen is adversely affecting the healthcare systems because salaries are not being paid, medications, vaccinations, equipment, they are not reaching the field and health facilities as easily as they should. the healthcare system is also affected a whole by the fighting in all the different parts of Yemen, because one for the access reasons that I had mentioned, that supplies are not able to get to where they need to get but at the same time many people are affected so negatively by the war that was are more sicknesses there are more diseases such as cholera, dengue, acute watery diarrhoea, there's also a lot of malnutrition and so this causes a strain in the healthcare systems because they are not designed to hold, to address as many needs all at once.     Since 2015 the public health system of Yemen has virtually collapsed, and the conflict has reversed many of the advances in health that have been made in recent years. Negative outcomes for maternal and infant health have been identified as particularly alarming and as Don mentioned there's a multitude of barriers to accessing health care caused by the ongoing violence, reduced numbers of functioning health facilities, difficulty in accessing health facilities and delay in checkpoints when people are moving from one area to another   They estimate that there are currently 19 million people currently suffering from malnutrition and disease, which just goes to show how vital it is that humanitarian aid gets through as quickly as possible.   How can the international community support Yemen - we asked Don   The international community can support Yemeni civilians by being advocates for the cessation of the conflict and the fighting that's happening in Yemen. The conflict and the fighting in Yemen are the reasons and source of all the suffering that is occurring in Yemen. Many people's lives, families and livelihoods have all been destroyed because of the fighting. And so we need to advocate for peace, we need to advocate for a better future for Yemen and the Yemenis. And the best way to do this it if we can influence decision makers on an international level to also advocate for the cessation of the conflict, the fighting, the bombings, and that will improve significantly and surely improve the lives of Yemenis.    So on an international level perhaps the biggest risk for protracted crises is that they become sidelined by new humanitarian emergencies. Particularly when it comes to media attention. So I think it's crucial that we continue to bring these situations to light and that the media attention continues to focus on these situations. We need to keep sharing the experiences of those living through protracted crises like Don says we need to advocate for peace and sustainable solutions.   Whilst advocacy is very important its also vital to support people in need now and that's why MOAS has been working in partnership with ADRA, since earlier this year to launch operation in Yemen. A shipment containing 97 000 dollars worth of famine relieving product, Plumy Doz, was ` made available with the help of US based company Ediesa, who subsidised their product for the benefit of the recipients.   So what is Plumpy Doz? Well, it's is a preventative liquid-based nutrient supplement for children 6 months and older who are identified as being at risk of developing acute malnutrition and can, therefore, be used alongside ordinary foods. Each 50g Plumpy Doz sachet provides the essential nutrients required to prevent malnutrition in children whose diets are not currently meeting their appropriate calorie and protein needs.   And to support the famine relieving products, we've also delivered medical supplies and pharmaceuticals to help existing health care facilities. As so together with German organisation Action Medeor, a 138 000 euros worth of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals have been delivered to Yemen   These medicines were selected from the WHO Essential Medication List and prioritised based on safety, cost-effectiveness and current & potential need. So, in addition to medication, vital clinical equipment is also included for the purposes of diagnoses, drug administration, wound dressings and resuscitation.   After the success of our two first deliveries, we are now facilitating a second delivery of both pharmaceuticals and famine supplies to provide on going relief to Yemeni civilians in need. We asked Don how important partnerships are for NGOs working on the ground in Yemen.  ADRA is very, very thankful for strategic partnerships like the one we have with MOAS because it increases our capacity and our impact on the communities that we work in. With MOAS we have been able to help mothers and children bounce back from malnutrition and also prevent some of them from falling into acute malnutrition. Through our partnership with MOAS we've been able to receive medications from their donors, we've been able to receive therapeutic food that were' using to cure these mothers and children who are suffering from acute malnutrition. And when we have these partnerships and these social entrepreneurs who want to make an impact and who partner with us we're very thankful for that trust because we know that we'll be able to do more good and that we'll be able to create more positive future for the country of Yemen. And so we thank MOAS, we show our gratefulness, we express our gratefulness to MOAS for helping us gather and mobilise these resources and we invite other supporters to also support the mission of MOAS in Yemen.

durée : 00:03:38 - A propos d'ailleurs - par : Mattéo Caranta - Les autorités bangladaises ont suspendu les réseaux 3G et 4G et les lignes téléphoniques des plus de 1 millions de réfugiés Rohingya qui se trouvent dans les camps autour de Cox's Bazar. Une tentative délibérée d'invisibilisation ?

Australian Foreign and Women's Affairs Minister Senator Maurice Payne recently visited Bangladesh on a three-day tour. This is the visit of an Australian Foreign Minister to Bangladesh in the last 21 years. During her stay in Bangladesh, she visited the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar. She also met Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister Dr. Momen. - সম্প্রতি তিনদিনের সফরে বাংলাদেশে গিয়েছিলেন অস্ট্রেলিয়ার পররাষ্ট্র এবং নারী বিষয়কমন্ত্রী সিনেটর ম্যারিস পেইন। গত ২১ বছরে কোন অস্ট্রেলিয়ান পররাষ্ট্রমন্ত্রীর এটাই বাংলাদেশ সফর। সফরকালে তিনি কক্সবাজারে রোহিঙ্গা শরণার্থী শিবির পরিদর্শন ছাড়াও বাংলাদেশের প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনা এবং পররাষ্ট্রমন্ত্রী ডঃ মোমেনের সাথেও সাক্ষাৎ করেন।

In August 2017, hundreds of thousands of ethnic Rohingya muslims from Myanmar fled across the border to Bangladesh. The Rohingya are a minority population that have long faced discrimination by the Buddhist Burmese majority. In the summer of 2017, things got very bad, very quickly.  A Rohingya militant group attacked some police outposts in Myanmar. The government and military responded by attacking Rohingya towns and villages, unleashing massive violence against a civilian population. This drove over 600,000 Rohingya to refugee camps in a region of Bangladesh known as Cox's Bazar. Some 700,000 Rohingya refugees remain there, to this day.  The violence that drove these people from their home was certainly a crime against humanity -- a UN official called it "a text book example of an ethnic cleansing."  And maybe even a genocide.  That of course demands the question: who will pay for these crimes. What does accountability look like in a situation like this. And can perpetrators of these crimes even be brought to justice in the first place? On the line with me to discuss these questions in the context of the current plight of the Rohingya refugees is Param-Preet Singh, Associate Director, International Justice Program of Human Rights Watch.  We kick off discussing the events of August 2017 before having a longer conversation about possible avenues for justice for these crimes.  This episode pairs well with my conversation last week with former Obama administration official Ben Rhodes, who discusses the fall from grace of Aung San Suu Kyi, the nobel peace prize winner who was the de-facto head of state of Myanmar while these crimes against humanity occurred--and who remained a notably silent bystander to ethnic cleansing.

Tyler Tomasello has lived a couple lives in his time on this planet. At a young age, he was a professional snowboard competitor. After his competitive days were done he turned to Ultra Running and has competed in races around the world. A few years ago he picked up his camera and has been exploring the world of photojournalism ever since. He has combined his love of nature, people, and the outdoors into his work. He often tells the stories of the people who are normally missed by mainstream media. Whether he is traveling to Miami to document a hurricane first hand or to Afghanistan to showcase female ultra runners. Tyler is constantly looking for the stories that not many are willing to tell. He joins the podcast to talk about his experience in Afghanistan and how he went to tell the story of a group of local female ultra runners and ended up coaching the women. Tyler tells of a different Afghanistan, one which is normally missed in mainstream media. Tyler's work recently took him to Sittwe, Rakhine, and Myanmar on another project then directly after that he headed to Bangladesh. In his words "heading to Cox's Bazar to document and tell the other side of the story." Tyler is constantly on the move and it was an honor and privilege to get to sit down with him and let him tell some of his story and the story of the women he worked with in Afghanistan.   Find Tyler:  Website: http://www.tylertomasello.com Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/tylertomasellophoto Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/tytomasello   One on One Coaching:  Do you want to weave together your inner passions in sport and life and have them reflected in your outer world?

This week Beyond the Headlines hosts two interviews from two different corners of the Muslim world — celebration at Hajj, and an update on the ongoing Rohingya crisis.  In Makkah, where over two million Muslims are fulfilling their Islamic duties for Hajj, The National's Naser Al Wasmi gives a firsthand account from Saudi Arabia. How are pilgrims adjusting to the high temperatures, and what tips can we give to others who look to descend on Makkah? Also, Campbell MacDiarmid returns from a week-long trip to Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh to provide an update on how over 700,000 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar are surviving in increasingly desperate conditions.

"Ich heirate nur einen Mann, der mir erlaubt, mein eigenes Leben zu leben", sagt die 13-jährige Sumi Akter. Sie ist selbstbewusster geworden, seit sie im Süden von Bangladesch surft. Es war gar nicht einfach, ihre Eltern zu überzeugen.

It has been six months since Myanmar military operations sparked a mass exodus of the country's Rohingya Muslim minority to neighbouring Bangladesh. But although the crisis has now fallen out of the headlines, on the ground it is only growing by the day. Rohingya refugees are continuing to arrive at the already overcrowded camps in the Bangladeshi district of Cox's Bazar and, as the rainy season approaches, aid workers are preparing for high winds and flooding — which could exacerbate the spread of disease and illness and destroy shelters. Host Laura Mackenzie talks to Médecins Sans Frontières' Kate Nolan who is working to co-ordinate the organisation's response to the refugee crisis in Cox's Bazar. Next up, we hear from Ammar Khamees, the director of an Erbil-based NGO who answered a call to help rescue a bear and lion from Mosul zoo amid the military campaign to retake the city from ISIL.

Dr. Joanne Liu is the International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), otherwise known as Doctors without Borders. She is a Canadian Pediatrician by training and has been with MSF for almost her entire career. She became the international head of MSF in 2013.   We spoke not long after she visited MSF's operations in a stretch of land in Bangladesh called Cox's Bazar. This is where hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees have fled from neighboring Myanmar in recent months and it is the site of one of the world's most urgent global humanitarian emergencies. Dr. Liu discusses the conditions there--and the kind of unique medical needs that stem from having such a massive population displacement in such a short period of time.    We also discuss MSF's history--including how it gained a reputation as one of the more fearless global humanitarian organizations. And we also discuss some of the current big challenges facing MSF, including a seeming increase in the number of attacks on humanitarian and health facilities around the world.    Dr. Liu tells a few very powerful stories, including a recent visit to a detention center for African migrants in Libya a place she calls "the most inhuman incarnation of men's cruelty"     We also discuss in detail a tragedy that befell MSF in October 2015 when US fighter jets bombed an MSF hospital in Afghanistan, killing many of her colleagues.    This episode shifts between wonky explanations of issues in world affairs, and her own very personal experience with those issues and I just want to thank Dr. Liu and the people at MSF for making this episode so powerful.    Become a premium subscriber to unlock bonus episodes, earn other rewards, and support the show
