Jamia students distribute basic essentials among Delhi's Rohingya refugees; here is how you can contribute too

The Rohingya Muslims who escaped the ethnic cleansing in Myanmar are living forsaken life as refugees in different host countries as rather unwanted guests. Forced to live their homeland, around one lakh such Rohingyas sought refuge in different south Asian countries, including India. From Jammu to Delhi to Hyderabad their life is a story of hardship, struggles and pain.

In south Delhi, a newly developed slum (in making ) named as Sharam Vihar near Shaheen Bagh and Jasola has given shelter to 60 such Rohingya Muslim families who travelled 3,000 km in order to survive the wrath of Buddhists in the Arakan region of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Sharam Vihar constitutes 300 families mainly from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bangal who also came here for the long battle of survival; but as this slum constitutes majority of Muslims so they accommodated these refugees who are not easily accepted in other parts of Delhi.
