But I remain abundantly aware that, for these Rohingya refugees, it is vitally important that the world does not look away. Then, when violence broke out in Rakhine State on August 25, 2017, it drove an estimated 480,000 Rohingya refugees across the border into Bangladesh. These children are without protection, adequate shelter, food, clean water, sanitation, and medical care. Yet, despite the best efforts of agencies on the ground to distribute aid, this crisis is already experiencing acute shortages of shelter, food, clean water and sanitation, and medical supplies. It must rapidly increase its support -- so that the Rohingya children displaced in Bangladesh do not become a lost generation.
