Halfway into 2019, only 22% of the $920 million annual appeal for the Joint Response Plan (JRP) for the Rohingya humanitarian crisis has been met so far, prompting officials of the government and international organisations to express concerns over the slow pace of fund collection.

Food prices at markets in Ukhia and Teknaf upazilas stayed somewhat stable

Cox's Bazar may not be experiencing any food crisis because of Rohingyas, but the increase in prices of daily products has jeopardized the lives of common people.

Prices of necessary daily products such as edible oil, ginger, garlic, vegetables, spinach, fish and many more, increased in 2019, compared to last year. Nonetheless, rice, lentils, and onion prices remained constant.
