The Rohingya are mostly a destitute minority group of Indo-Aryans who mostly genuinely
believe in Islam as well as live in the state of Rohingya, Myanmar which is known as Burma. An
approximate of 1.4 million Rohingya resided in Myanmar until the refugee problem in 2017,
because over 740,000 migrated to Bangladesh. With just one bed, five or six family members
reside in small, 10-by-16-foot sheds. A simple exterior latrine is used by approximately 20
individuals. For cleaning, cooking, as well as bathing, women should wait for hours for water
source. The temporary shelters of immigrants are at threat from flashfloods throughout seasonal
rainy season between April to November, rendering housing standards unbearable (Living
condition at Rohingya camps, 2021).
Disease outbreaks like diarrhea as well as bacterial diseases, and also disorders such as
temperature rage as well as head bed bugs, are commonly suffered by children. Approximately
540,000 infants need security all over the camps. They suffer severe threats, such as
psychosocial trauma, abandonment, rape, caregiver alienation, sexual assault, child brides, child
labour, and smuggling. Women are especially vulnerable (Children situation in Rohingya issue,
2021). All the nutrition supplied by its World Vision, is supported by numerous Food
1

Programme. Refugees get regular rations of food, including rice, vegetables, including oil. While
the ration packs are healthy, each and every day, it is really tough to eat a certain stuff.
Approximately half of that same migrant population is now providing e-voucher codes through
World Food Programme shops to buy poultry and dried produce, however nutritional variety and
healthy meals continue to struggle.
