Job Context:
∎ Violent events in Rakhine State of Myanmar, starting in August 2017, led to the displacement of 615`0001 Rohingya men, women and children towards Cox`s Bazar district in Bangladesh. The mass and speed of the displacement created an acute humanitarian crisis. People arrived with very little belongings and all basic needs are to be met. Beyond water, sanitation, shelter, food and health, protection is an important issue to address notably when it comes to children: they potentially suffered the most from the dramatic events which happened in Myanmar and during the cross border journey to Bangladesh and they are now the most vulnerable in the refugee camps where living conditions are particularly harsh. The displaced population counts 28%2 of children between 5 and 17 years old (14% each per gender). There is potentially - adding the refugees already leaving in the area before the crisis (212`518) - a population of 231`700 individuals which need to be supported.
