Over the past week, 22,000 new
arrivals were reported to have
crossed the border from Rakhine
State (Myanmar) to Bangladesh. As of 5
January, an estimated 65,000 people are
residing in registered camps, makeshift
settlements and host communities in
Cox's Bazaar. Biometric registration for
new arrivals has been proposed to assist
partners to further improve relief service
provision. To complement the local
response, UN agencies and NGO
partners continue to provide food, NFIs,
emergency shelter materials and
protection services to the new arrivals
and undocumented Myanmar nationals.
