International Rescue Committee
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is deeply concerned about the ongoing violence and displacement across Myanmar’s northern Rakhine State. Over 400,000 people have fled the violence since August 25 to Bangladesh, and the IRC expects the number of to reach 500,000 - half of the known Rohingyan population - by the end of the week. As the largest provider of health assistance in Rakhine state, the IRC is particularly concerned by the over 120,000 internally-displaced persons cut off from life-saving services, particularly in light of dire pre-existing conditions.

Save The Children
Rohingya crisis response needs to be scaled up urgently as desperation grows in Bangladesh. Almost 300,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh in the past two and a half weeks following a rapid and alarming escalation of violence in northern Rakhine State, Myanmar, since August 25, including disturbing reports of hundreds of people, including children, being killed. Save the Children has been supporting the long-term needs of displaced Rohingya families in and is now scaling up its relief work, and has distributed hundreds of shelter kits, set up ‘child friendly spaces’ to support children’s emotional wellbeing and provide a safe space to play, and is running child protection services and providing support to unaccompanied children.
Nexus Fund
We work in areas where there are significant risks of mass atrocities but still opportunity for prevention. We support local on-the-ground efforts with micro-grants through three programs: The Atrocity Prevention Small Grants Fund invests in community-led initiatives to build more peaceful societies and prevent mass violence against innocent people. The Dangerous Speech Global Fund supports efforts to understand and counter hate speech that can catalyze mass violence in communities around the world - including in the United States. The Civil Society Exchange Program gives front-line activists the opportunity to spend up to two months working in-person with other organizations around the world on prevention-focused joint projects, skills sharing, or research to increase their ability to be effective in their efforts.
