Meet Foxtrot, the rescue dog shining a light on the Rohingya refugee crisis. Foxtrot was discovered when aid workers with the World Food Programme joined a volunteer beach clean-up. At first, Foxtrot was weak and dehydrated, so Gemma Snowdon, a WFP aid worker, gave him some food and water to help him recover. The next day, Foxtrot was full of life and he’s has been with the team ever since. He now has his own Instagram account, where photos show him in various humanitarian situations, such as helping teams building infrastructure to guard refugee homes against monsoon floods, reading books designed for children in the camps, and waiting to meet the World Food Program’s supply chain team. WFP also features Foxtrot in videos, where a dubbed voice assumes his identity and tells the audience about the situation in Cox’s Bazar, where multiple refugee camps have combined to become the world’s largest refugee camp. The humanitarian challenges facing the camps are multifaceted and Foxtrot is helping to draw attention to a crisis that has seemingly been sidelined due to compassion fatigue.
