Humanitarian Fair, organised by Care Bangladesh at the Sayeman Beach Resort in Cox's Bazar on 24 August 20. The chief guest Md. Shamsud Douza said, "Thanks to all the organizations doing this humanitarian work together and continuously providing emergency response to the Rohingya refugees since the influx happened six years ago. The Bangladeshi people from the borders sacrificed the most. Bangladesh Government and all aid agencies are in this together. I urge you to increase support so we can protect the dignity and ensure the rights of the affected populations."

The panel discussion session contained a series of discussions featuring distinguished representatives from UN agencies and donors, focused on the emerging needs of the Rohingya population, related challenges, and strategies for the future. The discussions mainly focused on tackling the funding crisis for the future, food security, self-reliance, skills development, social cohesion between the Rohingya and host communities, and the role of aid agencies for better coordination.

This humanitarian fair has brought together people from different sectors, including representatives from the public sector, private sector, donor organizations, development partners, NGOs, and media working on the emergency response and humanitarian activities in Cox's Bazar in a single platform to discuss the present situation of the ongoing crises and how the combined actions and contributions of the aid agencies and different actors can support the common cause. A stall exhibition was arranged to showcase the sectoral interventions using scale models and other visibility materials.
