UN Refugee Chief's funding appeal for Myanmar refugees

Jack Good Health and Well-being

On Monday, the head of the U.N. refugee agency appealed for more international support for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees that have escaped to Bangladesh, a day ahead of a donor conference aiming to raise $1 billion to fund the response. Nearly a million Rohingya have been living in crowded camps in southern Bangladesh making it the world’s largest refugee settlement after fleeing a military crackdown in Myanmar’s Rakhine state nearly four years ago. Filippo Grandi (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees )stated that “The development in Myanmar risks overshadowing the fact that this is a crisis that pre-existed this development and will continue to be a crisis that needs to be addressed both in Bangladesh and in Myanmar.”

With regards to the good health and well-being SDG, what direct action could be taken to protect all refugees? Tell us your thoughts!
