Rohingya Relief

Since 2017, over a million Rohingya Muslims have fled from a brutal military crackdown in the northern Burmese province of Rakhine from what is, according to the United Nations Human Rights Chief "a textbook example of ethnic cleansing". As a result, most Rohingya refugees are sheltered at the Cox’s Bazaar Refugee Camp in neighbouring Bangladesh. Millions of refugees are living in camps with little to no access to safe drinking water and food or healthcare, overwhelming many relief efforts deployed in the area.

ICNA Relief Canada has deployed teams on the ground in Bangladesh & Burma. As the crisis deepens, our teams, along with the support of local Partners, provide emergency relief items such as: food, water, hygiene kits, basic supplies, temporary shelters, medicine, as well as medical assistance.

In 2023, Rohingya Relief remains one of ICNA Relief Canada’s most important Campaigns. Please donate generously to help your fellow Muslims in a crisis that worsens by the day.

Our Work with Rohingya Relief

By the Grace of Allah, and thanks to our generous donors, since 2018 ICNA Relief Canada was able to spend more than 5 Million in funds towards our International Rohingya Relief Program. Along with emergency support, these funds have supported the construction of:

3 Medical Centres
1 Mobile Dental Clinic
3 Children Homes (to support and educate Rohingya children in Bangladesh).
Over 3000 Shelters, Sanitary Latrines, and Water Wells

Your support today can save the lives of vulnerable families caught in the Rohingya Emergency. Please donate to this ongoing appeal and provide urgent relief for all of those affected.
