The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much of the UK humanitarian aid budget has been spent on projects relating to support for Rohingya in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, since 2020.

Answered by Catherine West

The UK is a leading donor to the Rohingya response. We have provided over £126.7 million to support the Rohingya and host communities since 2020, including food provision, clean water, healthcare and protection services. UK funding is providing support to the refugees in the main refugee camp at Cox's Bazar, delivered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the World Food Programme, the International Organisation for Migration and other agencies that work on refugee issues. We will continue to work closely with UN agencies and the Interim Government of Bangladesh to support the Rohingya and provide basic services.
