When the monsoon rains come, life in the Rohingya refugee camps can become impossible.

Shelters fill with water. Families lose what little they have. Children cannot sleep. Parents cannot cook. Entire communities are left waiting for the floodwaters to recede.

In the camps near Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, Abdullah is showing the reality that his community is facing today.

Our thoughts are with the families affected by the devastating floods and landslides. Rescue efforts are ongoing, but humanitarian needs remain immense at a time when funding cuts are threatening lifesaving assistance.

The world cannot look away.

Days after deadly landslides claimed lives in the Rohingya refugee camps, one thing is clear: this crisis is far from over.

Nearly 1.2 million Rohingya refugees remain in Bangladesh, living in one of the world's most climate-vulnerable refugee settlements.

Heavy rains, floods, landslides, and extreme weather continue to put lives at risk.

Humanitarian support has helped save lives, provide healthcare, education, and protection. But funding cuts are forcing difficult choices at a time when needs are only growing.

As conflict continues in Myanmar, voluntary return remains out of reach.

While in Bangladesh, Rohingya refugees need continued protection, support, livelihood opportunities and the opportunity to one day return home safely and with dignity.

The world cannot look away. 💙
