Bangladesh (USA FOR UNHCR) : FIRES and FLOODS are devastating the ROHINGYA REFUGEE CAMPS.

 

 

 

DONATE       Dear friend,   As a fire and flood safety instructor myself, and a photographer, I believe people around the world need to know about the dangerous situation Rohingya refugees are facing in Cox's Bazar. There are many people taking photographs in the camps, including community members taking evidence for the organizations they volunteer with and some professionals taking photographs as freelancers. I know the risks because I am also a photographer documenting this refugee life. Firefighters and photographers in the camps are the most at danger as they are covering these emergencies on the frontline, every time they happen. When refugees try to take photographs to help cover emergency stories of fires and floods, they are in real danger. Sometimes they try to get in front of the fire and get burned or inhale smoke. My goal is for future generations to know about these fires. You can help us stay safe. PLEASE HELP SALIM AND HIS COMMUNITY → I want to share with the world community that Rohingya refugee photographers are trying to show more about their lives through exhibitions in different places. A group of us have already shared our work for an exhibition that UNHCR organized called Kutupalong Exhibition on the theme of Rohingya women's empowerment. We also contribute to UNHCR's social media. Our hope is to share the reality about our refugee life. As a refugee, this is hard work to do with limited tools, but we have been doing our level best to continue showing our experience. This is our Rohingya community, and the world should know about our lives. Please help to safely equip Rohingya volunteers so we can protect our communities and share our experiences with the world. Thank you, Mohammed Salim Khan Firefighter, Trainer and Photographer USA for UNHCR 1310 L Street, NW Suite 450 Washington, DC 20005 1-(855)-808-6427   ©2023 USA for UNHCR
