(IRC) – A recent nutrition survey conducted by humanitarian agencies in Cox’s Bazar, led by International Rescue Committee partner Action Contre la Faim (ACF), has revealed shocking levels of malnutrition amongst Rohingya children, only further deepening fears of an impending, and very serious, public health crisis awaiting the world’s most vulnerable group of refugees. The IRC expects a further 200,000 new arrivals in coming weeks- bringing the total refugee population to over 1 million – only exacerbating an already unimaginable humanitarian crisis.
