After a massive fire outbreak in the Rohingya Refugee/FDMN camp on Sunday, March 5, 2023, over 2,805 shelters were demolished or damaged throughout 3 blocks and 45 sub-blocks, and 15,926 people were impacted by the tragedy. Our Integrated Nutrition Facility in Camp 11 completely burned down, and nothing could be salvaged but a few registration books. A fast endeavor was made to restore the services by the nutrition sector partners. The nutritional initiatives in camp 11 have already resumed with the assistance of our partners and stakeholders. Three tents were erected where the nutrition partner resume the nutrition services and other cross-cutting issues. In addition, hygiene kits, Dignity kits, Mosquito kits, cooking items, etc were distributed by relevant sectors. We appreciate the kind assistance and collaboration of all of our partners, other organizations, and sectors provided to our nutrition-implementing partner SHED in Camp 11. It cannot be handling this terrible fire event without effective cooperation from CS, CiC/RRC, UN agencies, and NGOs.

Action Against Hunger (ACF) has successfully organized the Ukhia Teknaf host community CMAM program coverage survey preliminary results dissemination workshop in Hotel Long Beach, Cox's Bazar on 16 March 2022. Our honorable Civil Surgeon Sir along with UH&FPO Sir (Ukhiya and Teknaf) inaugurated the workshop Upazila with opening remarks from Nutrition Sector and WFP.

The main objective of this assessment was to assess the coverage of SAM and MAM treatment programs as well as to identify key barriers and boosters reported by communities/caregivers/PLW in accessing nutrition services. This informs implementing partners what corrective action needs to be taken to improve the program quality and coverage in order to reach a maximum of malnourished children and PLW treated under the CMAM program.

Special thanks to all who had participated in the workshop and contributed to drafting recommendations and action plans in order to improve the quality of programming and CMAM program coverage in Ukhia Teknaf host in 2022.

Nutrition Messages for Child Protection

[nutritionsectorcxb]

Kaniz Fatema’s Cerebral Palsy Progression

Personal information and Address in detail:

• Kaniz Fatema is the elder daughter of Mohammad Younus and Arefa Begum. Mohammad Younus and his family members are Rohingya Refuse people. They have 8 members in their family. But he has no stable monthly income. Kaniz Fatema’s mother Arefa Begum is a housewife. Now Kaniz Fatema is 2.5 years old. Now she is suffering as a cerebral palsy child for a long time. After the assessment, I feel he needs an assistive device.

• Address:

Camp-5,

Block- G/44

FCN: 125915

Majhi Name: Solaiman

Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar.

Before Treatment

Changing situation:

• When I first picked Kaniz Fatema as a Cerebral Palsy child, I’ve found following these symptoms.

Delays in reaching developmental milestones.

Seeming too stiff or too floppy (hypotonia)

Weak arms or legs.

Fragility and jerky movements.

Random, uncontrolled movements.

Muscle spasms.

shaking hands (tremors)

But after the last follow up her mother maintained doing regular exercise according to the Physiotherapist's advice and when our respected organization has given an assistive device she feels better and now her all symptoms are progressively improving.

Causes of change

a) I’ve trained a variety of therapies that play an important role in treating cerebral palsy:

Physical therapy:

· Muscle training and exercises can help your child’s strength

· Flexibility

· Balancing exercise

· Motor development and mobility exercise

Occupational therapy.

Speech and language therapy.

b) Assistive device:

On 30th September,21 we were given a Cerebral palsy special chair.

It works by activating the nerves and causing the muscles to move, training the muscles to function better over time.

During Handover Assistive Device

c) Side by side I’ve suggesting her some food to improve her condition:

Eggs. Eggs are a great source of protein and choline, which make them a staple in the diets of children with cerebral palsy.

Avocados and Nut Butters.

Olive Oil and Leafy Greens

Past (Starting point) situation briefing: When and Why?

• On June 14th, 2021, I went to the G-44 block with a camp -5 volunteer, and through door-to-door screening, I found Kaniz Fatema as a rickets child. First, I explain the matter to her guardian and tell him in detail what kind of problem she has and what could happen. Then I started Kaniz Fatema‘s treatment. Since then, I have been treating her continuously with Physical therapy.

After that, a few days ago I took her follow-up, where I noticed she has improved a lot from

before. I want to continue her treatment. And I’m hoping she’ll get better soon.

• The reason behind why I treat her, because of –

There is no cure for Cerebral Palsy, but a child’s quality of life can improve with: treatment that may involve physical therapy including medicine or surgery, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Assistive devices to help kids get around and communicate with others.

So, I think if she continues this treatment and maintains the nutritional advice it will cure.

After Treatment

Community sessions are held in the camps to ensure Accountability to Affected People (AAP). In Camp 6, our partner SARPV arranged these types of sessions. They are also implementing various AAP activities on other Camps and the INFs they run. In those sessions Mothers, Caregivers, Father, Father in-laws, Imam, and Majhis are attended spontaneously. They are giving their opinions and suggestions to make the service better and related to the affected people.

After AAP training they started to practice various activities in every Integrated Nutrition Facility.
