More than half a million Rohingya have fled Myanmar’s Rakhine State into Bangladesh since late August, when the Burmese military responded to deadly attacks on police outposts by Rohingya militants. Monir Azzouzi and Monem Salem from the Muslim Professionals Forum (MPF) are currently fundraising to provide relief to refugees still trapped in Rakhine. They explain how they will be navigating the conflict zone in Rakhine and share how previous humanitarian missions have inspired them to volunteer more of their time and resources to assist persecuted communities around the world.
More information about the Rohingya Emergency Fund can be found on its Facebook page.
