Rohingya, Burma

On March 5, 2023, a massive fire tore through the Kutupalong-Balukhali refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, leaving around 12,000 Rohingya refugees homeless. The fire destroyed over 2,000 shelters, causing many to lose all their belongings and plunging them into fear and despair.

Cox’s Bazar is home to approximately 869,000 Rohingya refugees, living in highly congested camps within the Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazilas. These refugees are entirely dependent on aid from the humanitarian community and the government of Bangladesh. The recent fire has exacerbated their already dire situation, creating an urgent need for immediate support and assistance.

AMF has been assisting Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh since 2017. We have constructed 727 shelters, a child-friendly center, and 65 toilets & shower rooms for refugee families. Our distributions include 3,256 food packs, 1,700 winter packs, 1,656 household kits, and 1,120 dignity kits.
Additionally, we have built three large water reservoir systems,
dug 28 deep water wells, and provided 2 ambulances.

AMF collaborates with locally registered partner organizations, ensuring all activities in Cox’s Bazar are first approved by the NGO Bureau of the Prime Minister’s Office in Bangladesh and subsequently by the Camp Management.
