Qurban for Refugees 2026: Bringing Hope to the Rohingya
Over 1.2 million Rohingya refugees are facing a hunger crisis. Your Qurban for Refugees through Global Ehsan Relief can bring them a moment of hope and joy this Eid.
There is a place in Bangladesh where over one million people live with almost nothing.
The Rohingya are one of the world's most persecuted peoples, and the majority of them are packed into Cox's Bazar, the world's largest refugee settlement, with no clear path forward.
This Eid al-Adha, millions of Muslims around the world will feast with their families. These Rohingya families will not. Unless someone like you makes it possible.
Who Are the Rohingya?
The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority who have lived in Myanmar's Rakhine State for centuries. In 1982, Myanmar stripped them of their citizenship entirely, rendering them stateless under national law.
Decades of persecution followed - and then, in August 2017, a military crackdown described by the United Nations as bearing the hallmarks of genocide drove over 700,000 Rohingya across the border into Bangladesh in a matter of weeks. Many arrived with only the clothes on their backs.
Today, approximately 900,000 Rohingya live in the Cox's Bazar district alone - and the numbers keep rising. Conflict in Rakhine State has continued to intensify, with tens of thousands of new refugees recorded in late 2024. In total, the global Rohingya refugee population stands at nearly 1.2 million people, more than half of them children who have never known any home but cramped and underfunded camps.
With no income and no pathway to self-sufficiency, the Rohingya are entirely dependent on humanitarian aid for their most basic needs: food, shelter, and healthcare. All of it comes from the generosity of donors and aid organisations. When that funding is cut, families go hungry.
The Prophet SAW said: "He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while his neighbour goes to sleep hungry." (Al-Adab Al-Mufrad | 112)
Your neighbour in faith is hungry. And Eid is coming.
The Reality Inside the Camps
Funding cuts are making the Rohingya’s desperate situation even worse. In January 2026, monthly food rations for the 1.2 million refugees were reduced yet again, falling below the already inadequate level of $12 per person per month due to global funding shortfalls.
Over 40% of the general population in Cox's Bazar is experiencing severe food insecurity, according to an IPC assessment conducted in April 2025. That is nearly half a million people on the edge.
The toll on children is especially alarming. Over 15% of children under five in Cox's Bazar are malnourished - the highest rate recorded since the 2017 crisis - and cases of severe acute malnutrition surged by 27% in early 2025 compared to the year before.
These are real families. Mothers stretching whatever little they have to feed their children. Elders who remember a homeland they may never see again. Children who have only ever known the camp, and who deserve so much more than this.
And yet, when Eid arrives, what they want is not so different from what any of us want: to share a meal, to feel human, to celebrate together.
What Your Qurban Means to Them
For most Rohingya families, meat is a rare luxury. A proper protein-rich meal can be months or even years apart. When your Qurban arrives in the camps, it is a source of rare joy and celebration amidst their struggles.
The Prophet SAW said: "Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens on the Day of Judgement." (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1930)
Your sacrifice does more than feed a body. It lifts a spirit and restores a joy that years of displacement have worked hard to erode. It says, clearly and powerfully: you belong to this Ummah, and you are not alone.
How GER Delivers Your Qurban
Global Ehsan Relief has been delivering Qurban to Rohingya refugees since 2017. Our teams work directly on the ground in Cox's Bazar, ensuring that your sacrifice reaches Rohingya families with the care, transparency and respect that every human being deserves.
GER's Qurban for Refugees package starts at just S$390, covering not only the Rohingya in Bangladesh but also displaced communities in Yemen. It is one of the most meaningful ways to honour the spirit of Eid this year.
Every package is treated as an amanah - a sacred trust - carried with sincerity from the moment you give to the moment it is placed on a family's table.
Give Hope This Eid
You cannot end this crisis alone. But you can make sure that one family - or many families - wakes up on Eid morning knowing that someone, somewhere, thought of them. That is no small thing.
This Eid, bring joy to the Rohingya with your sacrifice. Book your Qurban for Refugees today!
