Local Press: UAE Doing Its Best To Help Rohingya


(@rukhshanmirpk)

ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 17th Feb, 2019) The Sheikha Fatima Global Humanitarian Campaign’s decision to step up efforts to treat thousands of women and children in Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, under the supervision of a group of doctors from the UAE and Bangladesh, is yet another creditable initiative by the UAE to help the most persecuted community.

The Gulf Today, said in an editorial comment on Sunday, that not only have the Rohingya Muslims faced horrific violence at the hands of Myanmar security forces in 2016 and 2017 with no accountability, but they have also been subjected to decades-long systematic discrimination in Myanmar.

The paper continued, "It’s heartening to note that the Sheikha Fatima Global Humanitarian Campaign is working in line with the principles behind the Year of Tolerance, and seeks to further promote the role of UAE volunteers, who have succeeded in undertaking humanitarian missions to support 16 million children globally."

The campaign will undoubtedly offer much solace to the victims because it seeks to treat individuals using mobile clinics and field hospitals, provide better diagnostic, treatment and preventive services that greatly contribute to easing their hardships.

It may be recalled that earlier this month, Noor Dubai Foundation set foot to provide free eye treatment for Rohingya refugees after a health survey found that 50,000 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh were in need of eye treatment.

Since August2017 some 730,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar’s Rakhine state to Bangladesh, where they now live in overcrowded camps.

The refugees reside in 30 camps in the city of Cox’s Bazar. As per Dr. Manal Taryam, CEO of Noor Dubai Foundation, the refugee camps do not have the needed treatment and preventive eye care. The closest hospital to the camps, which provides the necessary eye care, is more than an hour away and they have limited resources. The hospital also only has two doctors, one of which is a visiting doctor. All these factors make it difficult for those living in the camp to get the treatment they need.

"The fact remains that the Rohingya remain in an extremely precarious situation. The UAE deserves praise for continuously playing a vital role in providing humanitarian help to the Rohingya refugees," concluded the Sharjah-based daily.
