The influx of more than 800,000 Rohingya people fleeing violence and human rights abuses in Myanmar triggered one of the fastest-growing and largest refugee crises in the world. It was declared an L3 emergency by UNHCR. The Government of Bangladesh led the response, supported by more than 100 international and national organizations. IOM was designated as the lead UN agency and established a sector-based coordination structure.

The Rohingya refugees are a disempowered and disenfranchised group with low levels of literacy and no standardized or internationally recognized written script for their language. This is a challenging context: most communication must be face-to-face and oral. The refugees have limited access to radios and are officially banned from owning SIM cards for Bangladeshi mobile phone networks. The Rohingya people have faced decades of systematic discrimination, statelessness, and targeted violence in Rakhine State, Myanmar. Such persecution has forced Rohingya women, girls, boys, and men into Bangladesh for many years.

As part of its humanitarian responsibility, KAMPS stepped forward to serve hungry, needy, and vulnerable Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals by distributing relief combo packs with dry food items, including rice, pulse, salt, and oil, as well as medicine. Renowned nephrologist Professor Dr. M. A. Samad, the founding President of KAMPS, distributed relief items and medicine among the FDMN/Rohingya refugees in Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar.

The distribution program was supported by a 15-member response team with humanitarian staff and medical doctors headed by Professor Samad. Along with relief-goods distribution, KAMPS provided primary healthcare treatment and service delivery to the Rohingya refugees. Professor Samad expressed his gratitude for being part of the humanitarian response for Rohingya refugees alongside the Government of Bangladesh and national and international NGOs and donor organizations.

Dr. Samad added that KAMPS has been providing primary healthcare and kidney-care service delivery for poor and needy people in the community for more than 12 years, and these efforts are highly appreciated by Rohingya refugee beneficiaries, the authorities concerned, and the government.
