- USG announces $60 million in humanitarian assistances towards the 2019 JRP
- Since December, clashes between the Arakan Army (AA)—a Rakhine
ethnic armed group that is unrelated to the Arakan Rohingya Salvation
Army—and Government of Burma security forces have displaced more than
5,200 people in Burma’s Chin and Rakhine states, the UN reports. Relief
actors report that additional Government of Burma-imposed access
restrictions in affected townships have hindered efforts to provide
assistance to displaced populations and interrupted ongoing programs
delivering services to people in need.
- The 2019 Joint Response Plan (JRP) for the Rohingya Humanitarian
Crisis, released on February 15, requests approximately $920.5 million
to meet the needs of more than 1.2 million people—including
approximately 906,000 refugees and 336,000 host community members—in
Bangladesh. The 2019 JRP prioritizes the provision of food, health,
nutrition, protection, shelter, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)
assistance.
- On February 15, State/PRM announced a $60 million contribution
towards the JRP to support the relief efforts of the International
Organization for Migration (IOM), Office of the UN High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR), and UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Bangladesh.
