Cyclone Mocha: Hasun’s Story
Photo: A Rohingya woman with a young child walks through a destroyed community near Sittwe, Myanmar.
Hasun is Rohingya and father to 3 children: A 10 year-old, 7 year-old, and 3 year-old.
He shared that his community near Sittwe, Myanmar received information about the cyclone and flooding. The village administrator suggested evacuating to a safer place but didn't say where to go. Some people moved to other villages where they have relatives. Hasun said they didn’t have any relatives to go to. He and his wife didn’t know where to go with their three children, so they decided to stay home.
On Sunday the 14th, around 12 pm, the wind started, and it became stronger and stronger. He was aware that the storm was very powerful and realized that he couldn't stay home anymore. There had been some cyclones before, but this time it was so strong.
Suddenly, more water came in quickly with high speeds and washed out his wife and mother-in-law.
He is not sure what time his family decided to leave the house. It was flooding outside; they were trying to get out of the village. Suddenly, more water came in quickly with high speeds and washed out his wife and mother-in-law. The water reached up to his neck. He managed to escape with his three children, but he couldn't save his wife and her mother. His wife's dead body was found hooked on the barbed wire fence. She was thirty years old.
He said some people wouldn’t have died if there was no barbed wire fence. Because of the fence, they had to choose a different route to escape, which took more time, and resulted in many lost lives. Some people tried to break the brick wall on the other side of the airport, later some police helped them break it, and they were able to escape from the flood.
His children are living with a family in another village, and the youngest child is always crying for their mother. Now, he is living in his village beside the road.
Almost every house was destroyed in Sittwe, so it is hard for people to host another family. Now, the most important thing that they need is rice, food, and shelter.
The stories from our Rohingya friends whose entire communities were destroyed by Cyclone Mocha are heartbreaking to hear. The crisis caused by this natural disaster was gravely compounded by the dire conditions that Rohingya families endure under the Myanmar government.
We are called to bear witness to our friends' experiences as we stand in solidarity with them.
Please join us as our team rapidly responds to the urgent relief requests from Rohingya communities in the aftermath of Cyclone Mocha.

Cyclone Mocha Aftermath: UK Increases Support for Vulnerable Populations
This new UK support will provide Rohingya communities with health care, shelter, and basic site management support. It will also strengthen safeguarding systems for Rohingya refugees and host communities in Cox’s Bazar.
Acting British High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Matt Cannell, announced this additional funding during a visit to the Rohingya camps and host communities in Cox’s Bazar in the aftermath of cyclone Mocha.
Implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), this new UK support responds to ongoing needs in the Rohingya camps.
It will help refugees to rebuild their shelters following the largescale fire in Camp 11 in March 2023, which destroyed 2,800 shelters; and Cyclone Mocha in May, which has reportedly affected 37,000 Rohingya refugees.

Acting British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Matt Cannell said:
“The UK stands with Rohingya and host communities as they look to recover from the impact of Cyclone Mocha."
“I am proud to announce this new UK support of £2.3 million, which will help respond to recent tragedies as well as the ongoing needs in the camps and host communities. The UK remains committed to supporting the Government of Bangladesh to find a sustainable solution to this crisis and is providing vital humanitarian support.”
IOM Bangladesh’s Chief of Mission Abdusattor Esoev said:
“This support comes at a critical time when Rohingya refugees and the host communities in Cox’s Bazar are facing immense challenges due to recent disasters, and ongoing humanitarian needs, especially in the aftermath of the devastating fire and Cyclone Mocha.
“With the support of the UK, we will be able to provide essential healthcare, shelter, site management support, and strengthen safeguarding systems for those affected.
The partnership between IOM and the UK government has been instrumental in responding to the Rohingya crisis, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to support the people in need with humanitarian assistance.”
Since 2017, the UK has provided £352 million of humanitarian support to Rohingya refugees and host communities in Bangladesh.

Cyclone Mocha: IMD predicts an upcoming cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal
As a low-pressure area develops in the region, Cyclone Mocha, the year's first cyclone, is expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal this week. A cyclonic circulation is expected to form around May 6, according to the IMD. However, the cyclone's formation has yet to be confirmed.
"On or around May 6, 2023, a cyclonic circulation is likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal." "A low-pressure area is likely to form over the same region during the next 48 hours (May 7 and 8) under its influence," the IMD stated on Tuesday.
https://twitter.com/Indiametdept/status/1653319468192497664?s=20
The IMD issued its statement after the Global Forecast System, the US weather forecast model, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts predicted the formation of a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal. The cyclonic storm, if it forms, will be named 'Cyclone Mocha' according to the WMO/ESCAP nomenclature system. Yemen suggested the name, which is based on the Red Sea port city.
Most cyclones that formed in the region in recent years, including Amphan in 2020, Asani in 2021, and Yaas in 2022, made landfall in May. Though the IMD has made no predictions about Cyclone Mocha's path, its impact on the coasts of West Bengal and Odisha cannot be ruled out. The Odisha government has already begun preparations to mitigate any damage caused by the cyclone.
According to Windy.com, the cyclonic storm is expected to pass over the Bay of Bengal on Tuesday next week. It will then gradually move northward, closer to the Indian coast. A low-pressure area forming over the southeast region of the Bay of Bengal will intensify into a cyclonic storm on May 9 near the Andaman Islands, according to the IMD-Global Forecast System (GFS).
According to the IMD's forecast, the storm will move north-northeastward towards the east-central Bay of Bengal until May 11. On May 11, a low-pressure area will form in the south Andaman Sea and the southeast Bay of Bengal, followed by a cyclonic storm, according to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF).

Meet
some of the GED class of 2023! Behind each portrait is a story of overcoming challenges and the impact of conflict to pursue the dream of completing their education. Like Khin Oo's.
“I grew up in a poor family in Moung Noung Township, Myanmar...This is my first time in Chiang Mai and I am the first in my family to go anywhere...One day my mother said to us, “If you love me, you should try to study. No matter how hard it is for me, I am satisfied if you can go to school...” Then I tried the GED program entrance exam and I passed. When I told my mother about the GED and that I wanted to go, my mother was very happy.” ~ Khin Oo
We're excited to see what the future holds for each of them!

Wide
smiles. Laughter. You’d never guess these kids are in one of the most desolate and dangerous places in the world. When you support the safe space in Al-Hol, you make this joy in a dark place possible.

Four hour walk.
Photo: One of the seven remote clinics you help support in Karen State, Myanmar.
Friend,
When Saw De Htoo arrived at the clinic, a four hour walk from his home village in Karen State, Myanmar, his whole little body was swollen and his Mom and Dad, like any parents, were deeply concerned about their boy.
Photo: Saw De Htoo when he first arrived at the clinic.
Access to healthcare has long been a problem here, where decades of war has meant minimal investment in the health system. Add to that the escalating conflict following the military coup and too many parents are faced with few options for help when their kids are sick or injured.
This makes the health projects you’re backing in this region all the more critical. Partnering with the local Karen Department of Health and Welfare, you help supply seven clinics in remote areas with medicine, equipment and support for staff and operating costs.
The health workers at the clinic were able to diagnose Saw De Htoo with a kidney disorder called Nephrotic Syndrome, and admitted him for treatment and monitoring until the swelling reduced. Discharged 6 days later with the necessary medication to continue his recovery and a date for a check-up, his parents left extremely grateful that their little boy would be ok.
Photo: After 6 days of treatment and monitoring, it's time to go home.
Images like this one of Saw De Htoo happy and healthy again are what we’re all about. Last year over 6,000 kids like him received care in these clinics that has given them a better chance at living a free, full life. Because every single one of them matters.
We hope it brings you joy to see and hear of the precious lives you’re bringing care and hope to in conflict-ravaged Eastern Myanmar.
Also this week...
1.
This
is what we’re all about. 3,379 families helped so far with items like rice, tarps, rope and bamboo for building shelters, and other food items. Rapid emergency relief in a time of crisis. The United Nations and others are calling for more help, and we need all hands on deck to meet the needs.
Photos: Some of the villages affected by Cyclone Mocha receiving rice and tarps.
2.
Resilient
is an understatement. Deep in Karen State, our relief team last week met with an amazing community of displaced families who have been hiding close to the front lines of conflict for some time. Through thick mud, heavy rainfalls, intense heat and humidity, carrying supplies on trucks, boats, motorbikes and backs, our team brought exactly what they asked for: tarps, mosquito nets and medicine; provided by you. These are the essentials when the bombs come and they’re forced to flee their homes.
Photos: Relief supplies being distributed to displaced villagers in Karen State, Myanmar.
3.
Music
is healing. Especially in this community in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq, where it was banned from 2003 until its liberation from ISIS control. Our local partner, the Sustainable Peace Foundation, is running the ‘Arts for Peace’ project, which uses art therapy to help students process and heal from the trauma they’ve experienced. Frances, a player of the oud instrument is part of the project and shared:
“Now is the time to send musical notes to people as messages of security, peace, and reassurance, and to show the world that music is the language of treatment for the victims.”
Photo: Frances plays the oud as part of the 'Arts for Peace' project.
Reconciled communities living in peace.
The sound of that is music to our ears.
Thank you for being a song of hope in conflict zones, month after month.

Love on all fronts.
Photo: Damage from Cyclone Mocha near Sittwe, Myanmar.
Last week was heavy for our friends in Myanmar.
1.
Five
days without any food. That was the reality for some communities left devastated by Cyclone Mocha. Against all odds, it’s you, our incredible community, that was first on the scene in some villages to help fill the gap and keep over 7,420 tummies full until large-scale help arrives.
Photo: Rice being distributed to families impacted by Cyclone Mocha.
2.
Grateful
are the families you supplied tarps to, giving them some relief from the rain after losing their homes to the storm.
Photos: Tarps being distributed to families who's homes were destroyed.
3.
Airstrikes
are continuing in Myanmar, but so too is the practical support you keep bringing to communities forced to flee. We can’t overstate the lengths it takes to reach families hiding in the jungle, or the relief it brings to parents who haven’t received any other support to help feed their kids.
vimeo
4.
Happiness
in every kid’s heart. It’s what we long for. It’s also how our local partner Inhalation of Hope described these photos from the trauma care center helping kids who’ve been affected by the conflict in Sinjar.
“Education, entertainment, guidance, sports, friendship, psychosocial support, and many other activities inside a center of one family. Here in this center, you will find a family consisting of 45 kids returning back to life together." ~ Inhalation of Hope

"I thought she had died” - An update on Cyclone Mocha
Hi Friend,
With communications gradually coming back online, the immense scale of physical and personal devastation left by Cyclone Mocha has become clearer.
"We didn't get information that the flood would be that dangerous, we didn't think that the storm was so powerful…When the storm began, and the wind howled, I realized that the cyclone was more powerful than I thought.”
Rawfiq, who lives with his wife and two daughters in a village near Sittwe, decided to stay because he thought it would be difficult for other family members to house them. “Suddenly, the flood came into the village very quickly. Luckily, I swam and managed to get to the land, but all of the clothes I was wearing and my belongings were washed away by the water.”
His wife was washed away too. “I thought she had died.” Thankfully she was found alive a day and half later. As you can see in the video below, almost every structure in the internment camps and surrounding villages you’ve been supporting has been damaged or destroyed.
vimeo
“Now, I am living beside the road, I can't go back home. My house was totally destroyed…We have to travel too far to get drinking water, all the water wells and hand pumps are damaged and the water is salty now.”
Tragically, the death toll in these communities has begun to climb. As of yesterday morning, our relief networks have personally visited seven villages/camps and have records from those communities of more than 110 lives lost and possibly hundreds more missing. We are deeply grieved by the loss our Rohingya friends, who have already endured so much hardship, are experiencing again.
Aid access is challenging and we’ve heard directly of government officials minimizing the impact of the storm to Rohingya communities. In response, we've done what we do best - respond immediately with action. Our relief networks are in place and have already begun distributions while they continue to assess needs.
Photo: Residents survey the damage to their communities outside Sittwe, Myanmar.
The resilience of these communities has and continues to be inspiring. Government authorities may choose to look the other direction, but we are compelled to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them as they work to recover and rebuild their lives.
When you give, you stand with Rawfiq and his family, and you stand with the thousands who have lost loved ones and so much of what they own.
The needs are great and we could empty our entire emergency relief budget 10 times over and still not meet every urgent need. BUT. So is the love of this community that always shows up during times of crisis in communities already caught in hardship of conflict.
Brad Hazlett,
President

Cyclone Mocha: Rawfiq’s Story
Photo: Rohingya community members survey the devastation to their community by Cyclone Mocha.
Rawfiq lives in a village near Sittwe, Myanmar with his wife and two daughters. As Cyclone Mocha approached the mainland, the village administrator announced in the village that the cyclone was going to hit Sittwe at 100 and 110 mph. He told people to evacuate to a safe place, but there was no information about where they could go. The administrator told Rawfiq’s community to go to other villages where they have relatives.
Rawfiq said, "We don't know where to go."
Photo: Rawfiq, a Rohingya father, near Sittwe, Myanmar.
He told us that there were no arrangements for them to go to another place. He sent his thirteen and fifteen-year-old daughters to one of his relatives' houses.
“My wife and I stayed home because I thought it would be harder for my relatives to host another family in their house”, Rawfiq added. “People didn’t know where to go; where and how they could get food, or how they would cook. These questions prevented people from being evacuated.
Mostly, children and women moved to other villages where they have their relatives. Some families who don't have any relatives had no choice but to stay.
On Sunday, in the morning, my wife moved to the neighbor's house because their house was stronger than our house. I was alone at home" Rawfiq said "When the storm began, and the wind howled, I realized that the cyclone was more powerful than I thought.”
Rawfiq decided to leave the house but at that moment, the roof of his house was blown away.
I heard that my wife was also washed away by the flood when she was trying to escape. I thought she had died.
“Suddenly, the flood came into the village very quickly. Luckily, I swam and managed to get to the land, but all of my clothes were washed away by the water. I was naked and walking in the storm. I was able to get to the neighboring village where people gave me clothes. Some people were washed out by the flood. I heard that my wife was also washed away by the flood when she was trying to escape. I thought she had died but after a day and a half, I heard the news that my wife was saved by some people in another village. We didn't get information that the flood would be that dangerous, we didn't think that the storm was so powerful,” Rawfiq explained.
“Now, I am living beside the road. I can't go back home. My house was totally destroyed and I cannot even go there because of the mud. We have difficulty with drinking water. We have to travel too far to get drinking water, all the water wells and hand pumps are damaged and the water is salty now.
Now, I am living beside the road. I can't go back home. My house was totally destroyed and I cannot even go there because of the mud.
We need clothes. We lost all of our clothes and are now wearing what other people share. And we need food, now people are sharing food that they have but it is not enough. Also, it is hard to cook, here it is hard to make a fire to cook. In my village, a total of 18 people died and lots of people got injured, mostly by stepping on nails.”
Rawfiq and his family are one of thousands of Rohingya families whose homes have been destroyed and lives have been devastated by Cyclone Mocha. Our team is scaling up their provisions of shelter and food in the Sittwe area as they are able, but we are limited in what we can do without your support.
Please donate today so our team can respond to the urgent requests for relief that are being shared with them by our Rohingya friends. Thank you for showing up over and over again with unwavering solidarity for Rohingya kids & their families.
