CARE’s Chief Humanitarian Officer, @Deepmala_Mahla
recently visited #CoxsBazar, Bangladesh, home to the world’s biggest refugee camp.
Thanks to the @AusHPship we've been providing water, sanitation & hygiene in the camps, & running protection programs for vulnerable groups.
@Deepmala_Mahla, @care's Global Humanitarian Director, discussed the impacts of funding cuts on #Refugees who have fled from their homes & are now receiving only a quarter of the rations needed. As a result, families could soon turn to negative coping mechanisms to survive.
#MyanmarEarthquake: The situation in #Myanmar is dire. @Deepmala_Mahla, @CARE’s Chief Humanitarian Officer, joined CNN to discuss the response effort following the devastating earthquake on Friday, March 28, 2025.
In #Syria, it's impossible to ignore the scale of destruction & urgent #humanitarian needs. Communities continue to show incredible #resilience amidst unimaginable challenges. Our work must center on meeting immediate needs & long-term recovery. #ActForHumanity#CrisisResponse
“As Hunger and disease do not go away the moment the guns are silenced,” said @Deepmala_Mahla. “The health infrastructure, sanitation infrastructure, the road infrastructure … for us to take aid from one place to another is complicated. It’s difficult.”

-CARE Chief Humanitarian Officer @Deepmala_Mahla
"Entering 2025, world leaders must prioritize preventing and ending conflict and ensuring the protection of civilians and humanitarian workers – everywhere. Now is the time to act—with urgency and unwavering solidarity." – @Deepmala_Mahla
