Close to a million Rohingya people have fled violence in Myanmar to seek refuge across the border in Bangladesh.
Laos
Beginning in June 2022, Oxfam Aotearoa has supported a programme in Lao PDR that focuses on vulnerable communities, especially women, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Vientiane Capital, Vientiane, Oudomxay, Xayaburi and Bokeo Provinces.

One of the smallest and most remote countries on Earth, Tuvalu is comprised of nine coral atolls in the South Pacific Ocean, about halfway between Hawaii and Australia.
