The European Commission has released €10m in EU humanitarian support for Rohingya refugees and host communities in Bangladesh.
The Cox’s Bazar region in Bangladesh currently hosts nearly a million Rohingya Muslims who have fled attempted genocide in the Burmese state of Northern Rakhine; and who are now wholly dependent on humanitarian aid. Since the Rohingya crisis began in 2017, the EU has allocated support worth more than €140m for Rohingya populations both in Rakhine and Cox’s Bazar, comprising refugees who have fled Myanmar entirely, those who have been internally displaced; the 600,000 Rohingya remaining in Rakhine, who are still subject to fundamental rights restrictions and state-sanctioned violence; and Bangladeshi communities hosting refugees.
