When monsoon rains began over the weekend (June 9-10), torrential rains and wind immediately began wreaking havoc in parts of the Cox’s Bazar refugee camps, which houses 1 million Rohingya refugees who have fled genocide in Myanmar since late August of 2017.

You can help Jewish World Watch save Rohingya refugees’ lives by supporting fast and safe construction of housing away from flooding. We are also supporting medical aid and helping Rohingya in the camps to teach families who’ve just arrived about emergency escape plans.  The destructive monsoons will last months, and more help is needed: “Within 24 hours of the rains starting, humanitarian agencies reported some 59 incidents, including landslides, water logging, extreme wind and lightning strikes,” according to a report from the International Organization for Migration in Bangladesh, the United Nations Migration Agency. These incidents are being mapped and shared on a communal incident overview platform. Some 9,000 people already have been affected, according to the report, and many more remain vulnerable.

Your donation to Jewish World Watch emergency Relief efforts for the Rohingya will save lives.
