Summary:

In Cox bazar, the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh started experiencing hygiene and sanitation related problems due to the mass influx of Rohingya refugees. In addition, the solutions were quickly considered and Oxfam Bangladesh recommended a number of treatment-plant options including a fecal sludge treatment plant (FSTP). As per the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), over seven lakh forty thousand (7,40,000) people from the Rohingya community described as 'Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals' have relocated to Bangladesh since August 25, 2017, fleeing persecution in Rakhine State, Myanmar. Before this, for decades the Rohingya community was subjected to discriminatory laws, threats, escalating isolation, rape, torture, disappearances, mass killing, abuse, and other forms of massive violence. As a result, displacement of the Rohingya people has occurred. Additionally, hundreds of thousands have fled to other countries in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, although the majority have escaped to Bangladesh. In the Cox's Bazar district of Bangladesh several camps have been established to support this community's stay. Since their presence added additional pressure to the already existing population of Bangladesh, several nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), along with the World Bank's nearly half a billion dollars monetary support, created a support system to address the Rohingya refugees' needs regarding health, education, water and sanitation, disaster risk management, as well as social protection. Here, we report the case of the FSTP established by OXFAM which has resolved the Rohingya people's water and sanitation issues.
