Bangladesh: Humanitarian Situation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the humanitarian situation in Cox's Bazar.
Answered by Catherine West
The UK has been actively engaged in addressing the humanitarian situation in Cox's Bazar, and closely monitoring levels of need and insecurity. We are a leading donor to the Rohingya response and have provided £405 million to support the Rohingya and host communities since 2017, including food provision, clean water, healthcare and protection services. During my visit to Bangladesh in November 2024, I announced that £10.3 million of humanitarian funding will go to Rohingya refugees and for disaster response. The UK regularly discusses the Rohingya refugee response with the Interim Government of Bangladesh. This includes ensuring new Rohingya arrivals are registered and can access humanitarian assistance.
