Since the large-scale refugee movement in 2017, hundreds of thousands of people from Rakhine, Myanmar, have been living in crowded camps in Bangladesh's densely populated Cox's Bazar region.

Efficient humanitarian logistics can save lives in disaster situations. An efficient relief operation is achieved through well-coordinated processes and a functioning logistical infrastructure. GRC en-sures aid arrives quickly where it’s needed most.
