The United Nations has announced that due to severe funding shortfalls, it will halve monthly food rations for approximately one million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, reducing the assistance from $12.50 to $6 per person. This reduction, implemented by the World Food Programme, highlights the acute challenges facing the refugees who already struggle with inadequate support and rampant malnutrition. Authorities in Bangladesh have confirmed the cuts will take effect from April 1, exacerbating the dire situation for refugees who rely heavily on aid while facing limited job opportunities and continued displacement.
The World Food Programme stated that severe funding shortfalls are forcing slashes in monthly food vouchers from $12.50 to $6 per person for Rohingya refugees.
Nay San Lwin, co-founder of the Free Rohingya Coalition, remarked that the cut in food vouchers is a death sentence for Rohingya refugees facing dire conditions.
