MOAS in Bangladesh<\/h5>\n

MOAS launched operations in Bangladesh on the 3rd of September 2017 and immediately conducted an in-depth needs assessment of the unfolding humanitarian crisis.<\/h2>\n

Recognising an acute food shortage, MOAS initially used the Phoenix to deliver 40 tonnes of humanitarian aid to the Bangladeshi government. Our local team then established two Aid Stations, or primary health centres, to serve the expanding refugee camps and their host communities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1662466493581{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.moas.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Promo-Website-Website-full-width-1.jpeg?id=51250) !important;}” el_class=”page-featured-image boxed-row”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1658068553487{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}” el_class=”boxed-row”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Monsoon preparedness and response has been a priority for MOAS in the Cox\u2019s Bazar District, to mitigate risks and save lives.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The first MOAS Aid Station was launched in October 2017 in the fishing village of Shamlapur, while the second was opened in November 2017 to serve the remote settlement of Unchiprang; both are located in the Teknaf region of Bangladesh, close to the border with Myanmar. Our dedicated doctors, nurses, midwives and pharmacists treated over 90,000 people to the end of November 2018. Reflecting the huge number of children living in the refugee camps, over 40% of our patients were under 18.<\/p>\n

Since 2019, MOAS has provided advice and consultancy services to international and in-country partners operating in the framework of Disaster Risk Reduction, in Rohingya refugee camps and host community areas. It was a cooperative endeavour by multiple disaster management organizations to coordinate relief activities and find alternative solutions to manage disaster situations. We focused on the Flood and Water Safety training, designed by MOAS to train a target population, and reduce the impact of aquatic disasters such as monsoons, flooding and cyclones.<\/p>\n

Beneficiaries: Rohingya refugees, host community members, and fishermen in Cox\u2019s Bazar region. 31% of the beneficiaries in the Rohingya population were female, and 48% in the host community.<\/p>\n

The course was designed to improve capacity building in the community, training volunteers in:<\/p>\n
