The Dr. Mostafa-Hazera Foundation has taken the initiative to restart education programs suspended in the Rohingya camps. As part of this effort, the foundation has begun collecting information about existing educational activities in the camps. Chairman of the foundation, Captain A.K.M. Golam Kibria, announced that the programs will be relaunched soon.
He made the announcement at a press conference held at a hotel in Cox’s Bazar on Wednesday evening.
Captain Kibria stated that under the foundation’s “Global Five Zero Campaign,” free medical services and the reopening of schools for the Rohingya community have already begun. Over the past three days, the foundation’s medical team has provided treatment and free medicine to nearly 800 patients, with the participation of four experienced doctors and 16 volunteers.
In collaboration with local teachers, a roadmap has also been prepared to reopen schools for Rohingya children to restore the long-disrupted flow of education.
At the event, Dr. Sultana Khanam, former Director of Health System Development at the World Health Organization (WHO), called for ensuring the education and healthcare rights of the Rohingya population.
Renowned human rights activist Dr. Shahidul Alam said, “The Rohingyas still do not have a safe environment to return to their homeland. Bangladesh has done a lot for them, yet humanity demands that we continue to stand by their side.”
Speakers at the event noted that the Rohingya crisis is not only a humanitarian issue but also one of justice and global accountability. They urged the international community to ensure Myanmar’s responsibility and work toward the dignified repatriation of the Rohingya people.
