Rohingya refugees face critical food shortages in Bangladesh

More than 1 million Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, face severe food shortages as aid cuts take effect. Starting in April, food rations may drop to just 6 dollars worth of supplies per person for the month. The U.S. has frozen cash contributions, which previously provided about $300 million for the Rohingya response. Although in-kind donations of rice and beans have resumed, the overall humanitarian response is at risk, with malnutrition rates rising among children. UN officials warn that the cuts threaten not only food security but also essential services like education and healthcare. The camp is vulnerable to disasters, and aid agencies are concerned about the impact of upcoming monsoon rains.
