Abstract

Since August 2017, more than 700000 Rohingya seek refuge in Bangladesh from neighboring Myanmar that resulted in an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. However little is known about the humanitarian operations of the Government of Bangladesh and humanitarian bodies in the management of this crisis. This article aims to fill this gap. It provides a profile of organizations in relation to the Rohingya refugee crisis which will serve a baseline for any future research. The article analyzes the 4W data of the UNOCHA and provides an evaluation of humanitarian operators and involvement of various actors. Segregation of humanitarian operators by National and International NGOs suggests that the humanitarian operations are still dominated by international actors and localization i.e. a greater involvement of the Bangladeshi actors is yet to be achieved.
