Bangladesh: Rohingya
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much aid has been allocated to programmes supporting Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh in each of the last five financial years.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
We remain concerned by the challenges faced by Rohingya refugees and committed to improving their situation in Bangladesh. In September, the Foreign Secretary announced £27 million in new funding for these efforts, bringing the UK's total support to £447 million. This includes assistance to help refugees access to essential services. In December, the UK also announced joint funding with Saudi Arabia and Qatar of £6.96 million to support the response to the Rohingya crisis.
