IHH on alert for relief to Arakanese refugees
IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation continues to take emergency relief to Arakanese Muslims who flee the massacres perpetrated by the Buddhist junta regime in Myanmar and take refuge in refugee camps i
Arakan, Bangladesh, SouthAsia, Myanmar, Turkey 03.08.2012

IHH Emergency Aid Coordinator Recep Güzel and his team visited the Arakanese refugees who took refuge in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar and provided financial assistance to them. The IHH team also launched efforts to improve the circumstances in the camps where refugees stay.

Meeting with families one by one who migrated from Arakan and making a list of their needs, Güzel said: “Several days ago, we met with two women who fled Arakan and took refuge in Bangladesh. One of the women, whose husbands were killed, is a mother while the other one is her daughter with two children. While telling their story, the grandmother did not leave the hands of her two grandchildren even for a moment. They are very fearful and desperate. There are thousands of such people among Arakanese refugees. They try to live in an area of four-square-meter each and are deprived of all their needs. They have nothing to help them continue living. We have been mobilized here to meet their needs. In addition providing them with food and accommodation, we also support them financially. We will continue to help these people, who have just arrived in Bangladesh and have nothing, and we will diversify the types of our relief efforts.” 

Charity givers who would like to make donations for the Muslims who live under difficult circumstances on the Myanmar-Bangladesh border could make their donations online via www.ihh.org.tr or by giving a call to the IHH from the +90212 631 21 21 phone number.
