BBC Media Action has been broadcasting 'Lifeline ' programmes to support communities affected by humanitarian crises since 2001. In times of crisis, information is as important as food, water or shelter in helping people to survive. We believe communication is aid.

We are not funded by the BBC Licence Fee and rely on funding from donors to carry out our life-saving and life-changing work. During an emergency we inform people where to find food and shelter, how to access clean water and safe sanitation, where to access medical attention and how to keep their families safe.

We have worked to dispel rumours and misinformation around the West African Ebola crisis and helped families to rebuild their homes safely after the Nepal earthquake. And today our teams are working in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar with the Rohingya people to ensure they have the information they need to keep their families as secure and healthy as possible.

The Rohingya refugee crisis is one of the world's largest displacements of people. More than 900,000 Rohingya people have fled their homes in Myanmar seeking refuge in Bangladesh, making it one of the most concentrated humanitarian emergencies in decades. In a situation like this, access to information is as important as food, water and shelter. It saves lives.

We're working with partners to produce daily radio programmes in Cox's Bazar. The programmes give people essential information, helping them to stay safe and protect their health and the health of their families. Our work also helps aid agencies coordinate their work to better meet the needs of the people they want to help.

Your support can help us help the Rohingya people in Cox's Bazar, and many others around the world.
