The government will make its matching donations to the Myanmar Crisis Relief Fund. International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said Bangladesh is now home to the world's largest refugee camp, with over 900,000 Rohingya and other minorities driven out of Myanmar by ethnic cleansing. An additional 600,000 Rohingya, nearly 70 per cent of them women and children, have fled to Bangladesh since August, Bibeau said. Zia Choudhury, the country director of CARE Bangladesh, said there is a massive need for food, shelter, safe water, medical services and toilets. We need to respond not only to basic needs like water, food and shelter but offer sexual and reproductive health service for 20,000 pregnant women. function set Cookie related path / ; Related'Papa!
