More than 13,000 refugees have been affected by this week's floods in Cox's Bazar. Half are currently displaced inside the camps.

IOM, volunteers & partners are on the ground assisting those affected, but access is challenging as heavy rainfall is expected for the next 5 days.

@BBCWorld Thank you so much @BBCWorld - as a Dominican and daily reader appreciate this. Just to share that “El Caballo Mayor” does not have a literal translation. It would translate more to the Father of Merengue, or the greatest or the top one, etc - but not big horse. 🙏🏽

This is amazing and best reaction by Beasley! Congratulations to WFP!

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

We are deeply humbled to receive the #NobelPeacePrize. This is an incredible recognition of the dedication of the @WFP family, working to end hunger everyday in 80+ countries.

Thank you @NobelPrize for this incredible honor!

Marking the first private sector contribution to IOM's COVID-10 response in Cox's, the support with PPE was extremely critical early on in the response. It was a delight to support this collaboration! #covid19response #rohingya

The establishment of an Oxygen Generator Plant at the Ramu Isolation & Treatment Centre, part of the #COVID19 response in #CoxsBazar, reinforces IOM’s steadfast commitment to deliver support for the host community in the district.

@HudaFarhat7 @oxfordbrookes There are simply no words to describe Basma! A true inspiration for all of us doing this work.

[Leimer Tejeda Frem @LeimerTF]

What an amazing event by @oxfordbrookes. Being herself a stateless refugee my dear Basma is such a inspirational humanitarian- it’s an honor to know you! “Living in a camp made me strong and allowed me to understand human suffering.” #Palestine #HumanRights

“Today's protests are the culmination of many generations of pain & struggles for #equality.” -@mbachelet I’ve been carrying a heavy heart, mind & body but glad to see the UN hold this urgent debate on racism and police brutality, including Black voices & #GeorgeFloyd’s family.

"There is a need for international commissions of inquiry to examine racism and abuse of force by police forces, both in the United States and globally. We need to see concrete changes," argues UN expert on #racism Tendayi Achiume
