KUALA LUMPUR: Mercy Malaysia is aiming to provide health relief services for the Rohingya refugees in Cox Bazar, Bangladesh, for at least six months.  

Mercy Malaysia president Datuk Dr Ahmad Faizal Mohd Perdaus said that relief agencies were struggling to meet the needs of the refugees due to a lack of resources and challenges with aid coordination.
