Over 1 Million Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh at Risk of Humanitarian Aid Shortages

HeadlineMay 31, 2023

A U.N. special rapporteur warns international support for more than 1 million Rohingya refugees living in Bangladeshi camps is “grossly insufficient.” According to the U.N., about $876 million is needed to support Rohingya refugees for a year, but only 17% of that has been pledged to date. The World Food Programme has been forced to make additional cuts due to funding shortages, dramatically scaling back its food assistance efforts for Rohingya refugees.
