We are saying there are several crises with refugees, but none in the western world. None of these are in Europe or North America as we speak. However, it is certainly a crisis for a country like Bangladesh, which over a period of six weeks received 700,000 people. At the peak of the Bangladeshi crisis, in the first week of September, Cox's Bazar, an impoverished part of the country where you have had the honour of going, received 50,000 people in one day. That is the equivalent of one year in Canada, a G7 country, with all of its resources and a functioning state. The Bangladeshi authorities have kept the border open. The Bangladeshi communities have opened their homes and shared their meagre meals.
We see this mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, in the Middle East, and in Asia. In comparison, as I was able to flag earlier on, Canada is only receiving a very small fraction of what has become a series of crises throughout the world, where people are more and more on the move. I repeat, last year, in 2017, we had the largest increase in refugees my organization has witnessed since its creation.
