Impact of aid cuts on world's largest refugee camp
Funding cuts driven by US budget slashes have created a 50% aid gap, risking food, health, and education services for over 1.1 million Rohingya refugees, UN warns.
- This year, Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar face a 50% aid funding shortfall, putting the highly dependent camps at catastrophic risk.
- The United States Agency for International Development postponed funding, and cuts from multiple donors including the UK and France have reduced aid, following U.S. President Donald Trump's sharp humanitarian budget cuts this year.
- The World Food Programme warned it may cut rations to $6 from $12.50 per person, per month amid shrinking budgets, while UNICEF and Islamic Relief report rising child malnutrition.
- Some schools are only funded until 31 December, and closure of programmes has been linked to child marriage and forced labour among girls and children in the camps.
- Aid workers warn of a 'lost generation' and say sanitation and water systems are failing with water available for only one hour per day, threatening about 500,000 children amid 150,000 new arrivals and more than 1.1 million displaced in recent years.
