The disaster, which killed 220,000 people, has been further compounded by seasonal storms and by an ongoing cholera outbreak that has killed over 2,300 people and sickened more than 100,000. Recovery efforts continue to face bottlenecks and barriers, many of them related to limited infrastructure and deep-seated poverty. Still, UNICEF and partners have reached millions with vital services, and are laying the groundwork for long-term rebuilding. A UNICEF-led cluster of relief agencies has reached 1.7 million people with safe water and sanitation. Working with partners, UNICEF helped immunize over 1.9 million children against seven diseases; enabled 720,000 children to return to school; identified and registered nearly 5,000 unaccompanied children; and reunited 1,265 unaccompanied children with their families. UNICEF also supports: therapeutic feeding centres treating more than 11,

Organized by the Government of Bangladesh, this campaign is one of the biggest public health mobilization efforts in the country, engaging thousands of vaccinators and volunteers. The campaign will cover more than 170,000 schools and 150,000 immunization centers over a three week period (ending 13 February 2014) with a special attention on children living on the streets and other high-risk populations.Plans are underway to vaccinate children living on the streets and other high-risk populations in urban areas who may not attend school or go to community vaccination sites. In the urban areas, teams have been assigned to cover railway stations, bus stations, river and sea terminals, parks and even footpaths. Special teams have also been mobilized to cover hard-to-reach areas such as haor (surrounded by water) and char (small islands) areas, large market places, rice mills, brick fields, brothels and places where working mothers live with their children. Routine measles vaccination coverage has reached 86 per cent of children aged under one year in Bangladesh. This means that around one million children under one year remain susceptible to measles each year as they are left out or unable to develop immunity. Although in 2012, Bangladesh introduced measles second dose vaccine for children aged 15 months, older children still remained susceptible to the disease. These children need a second chance for survival. If a woman is infected with rubella, particularly before conception and during the first three months of pregnancy, there is 90 per cent chance of her passing the infection on to her unborn child resulting in miscarriage, death, or congenital defects. The MR campaign marks the end of several months of careful planning by the national immunization programme under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Thousands of field managers, frontline health workers and volunteers have joined forces to ensure that no child is left behind. The MR vaccination campaign is a joint effort by the Government of Bangladesh, GAVI Alliance, UNICEF, WHO and other development partners. The campaign is also one of several health drives that are being rolled-out to prevent an additional 108,000 child deaths annually and bring down preventable child deaths to 20 per 1,000 live births by 2035, ‘Bangladesh Call to Action’ - under the global initiative of, ‘Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed’ - to give every child the best possible start in life.
