9-14 | Here is an update from MSF Emergency Operations Manager Karline Kleijer on the situation of the Rohingya in Rakhine State:
9-6 | Rohingya refugees fleeing to Bangladesh urgently require medical and humanitarian assistance, as an already dire humanitarian situation along the border with Myanmar worsens. By 6 September, over 146,000 people had crossed into Bangladesh, fleeing violence in Rakhine state, Myanmar. This figure, coming on top of 75,000 people who have arrived since violence began in October 2016, represents one of the largest influxes ever of Rohingyas into Bangladesh.
8-20 | Two weeks after severe flooding affected an estimated one million people across Myanmar, Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is expanding its support to the government’s response in both Rakhine State and Sagaing Region. This will both help meet the immediate needs of those directly affected by flooding, and mitigate the elevated risk facing communities from water- and mosquito-borne infectious diseases, including malaria, diarrhoea, and dengue fever. Dengue fever is endemic to Rakhine state and Sagaing regio
8-5 | After days of severe rains across swathes of Myanmar in the wake of Cyclone Komen, Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is working with local government authorities to provide medical and non-medical aid to thousands of people affected by flooding. Rakhine State, where MSF already runs several medical programmes, is one of the most critically impacted areas.
1-20 | Tens of thousands of people in Myanmar's Rakhine state are able to access basic healthcare and emergency referral from Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) for the first time in over nine months. Following instructions to MSF Holland to stop last February, these primary health clinics restarted on 17th December 2014. MSF Holland has worked in Rakhine state since 1992 to provide basic healthcare, reproductive care, emergency referrals, and tuberculosis and HIV care.
