May 17, 2026, Global Goodwill Ambassador of IOM, the UN Migration Agency, Dimash Qudaibergen, arrived in Cox’s Bazar on a humanitarian mission.

The Cox’s Bazar region is home to a large number of forcibly displaced people in need of ongoing humanitarian assistance.

International organizations and local partners continue to provide support in the areas of shelter, healthcare, education, and social services.

The region also faces additional challenges related to climate and environmental risks, including seasonal flooding and cyclones, which further complicate humanitarian operations and the living conditions of local communities.

As part of the humanitarian mission, a series of meetings and field visits are planned to introduce IOM’s humanitarian initiatives in Cox’s Bazar and to draw the international community’s attention to the importance of humanitarian assistance and sustainable development in the region.
