According to the ISCG Situation Report published on 27 Jan 2018, the violence in Rakhine State which began on 25 August 2017 has driven an estimated 0.68 Million Myanmar citizen across the border into Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. The speed and scale of the influx has resulted in a critical humanitarian emergency. The people who have arrived in Bangladesh since 25 August came with very few possessions. They are now reliant on humanitarian assistance for food, and other life-saving needs.

The forcedly displaced Myanmar citizen (known as Rohingya) in Cox's Bazar is highly vulnerable, having fled conflict and experienced severe trauma, and now living in extremely difficult conditions. Population movements within Cox's Bazar remain fluid, with increasing concentration in Ukhia, where the Government has allocated 2,000 acres to establish a new camp to house them. People arrived at the new site before infrastructure and services could be established. Humanitarian partners are now building necessary infrastructure in challenging conditions, with extremely limited space. The new cumulative arrival currently stands at 688,000 as of 27 January, according to IOM Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM) Baseline survey. This includes 585,000 arrivals in Kutupalong Expansion Site plus 237,000 arrivals in other settlements and camps and 79,000 arrivals living in host communities.The WASH Field Facilitator is responsible for awareness raising and hygiene promotion among the Affected community, addition to this the FFs will play key role in community engagement in every activity of CARE WASH.
