150,000 Rohingya flee to Bangladesh amid renewed Myanmar violence | The United Nations Office at Geneva
Aid partners have been able to provide basic services including food, medical care, education, and
essential relief items. However, the response is now under serious threat due to a lack of funding.
UNHCR warned that the 2024 humanitarian appeal for $255 million is only 35 per cent funded.
Without immediate financial support, the entire operation could face systemic collapse.
Action needed now
Unless additional funds are secured, health services will be severely disrupted by September and
essential cooking fuel — liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) – will run out by December. Food assistance
will stop and education for some 230,000 Rohingya children, including 63,000 new arrivals, is in
danger of being discontinued.
Despite a strictly controlled and officially closed border, the Government of Bangladesh has allowed
new arrivals to access emergency services in the camps. The UN agency expressed deep
appreciation for this humanitarian gesture under highly challenging conditions.
“We don’t have the resources to take care of the new arrivals and also those who were there before
them,” said Mr. Baloch. “Everything will be impacted.”
As displacement from Rakhine state continues, UNHCR and its partners are urging the international
community to act swiftly. Without immediate and sustained support, the already fragile
humanitarian response in Cox’s Bazar could begin to unravel - with devastating consequences for
more than one million people who rely on it for survival.
