UN Warns Funding Cuts Worsen Rohingya Crisis
The U.N. refugee agency reports that declining humanitarian funding is threatening essential services for 1.2 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. A current 710.5 million dollar appeal remains only 60 percent funded as global donor budgets tighten and regional violence continues to drive new arrivals.
The UNHCR warned on Tuesday afternoon that funding gaps threaten essential services for 1.2 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. A $710.5 million humanitarian appeal remains only 60% funded as global donor budgets tighten. Sustained underfunding risks regional instability and increases perilous migration toward Malaysia and Indonesia as conditions deteriorate.
