Welcome to the rst issue of Flying News Rumour Tracking Bulletin. The Flying News bulletin captures rumours and perceptions of the Rohingya population to eliminate information gaps between humanitarian agencies and refugees. By providing eld sta and volunteers with current rumours and basic facts to answer them, the Flying News Bulletin aims to create a better understanding of the needs of the Rohingya and helps answer rumours before they can do any harm.

Some of these rumours are also being addressed in the Internews HIS narrowcast programme ‘Bala-Bura’ (played in listening groups throughout the camps) and the Internews HRSM radio programme ‘Talking Peace’ (every Monday 16.00h on Radio Naf).
