Korea has provided $1 million to Unicef Bangladesh this year for activities to help prevent gender-based violence particularly in Cox's Bazar.

This assistance will help protect women, adolescents, and girls in the Rohingya refugee camp and the host community from gender-based violence and its consequences, especially amid the increasing gender-based violence cases in the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic, Korean embassy in Dhaka said in a statement today.

Republic of Korea Ambassador Lee Jang-keun has announced a new contribution of US$ 300,000 to World Food Programme (WFP) Bangladesh, to support its operations that provide food assistance to 860,000 people in the Rohingya camps.

WFP assists 100 percent of the Rohingya population across 34 formally established camps with nutritious food, engineering, school feeding, and self-reliance or livelihood training in the Rohingya camps and surrounding host communities, said a press release issued here today.

“We are grateful to donors like the Republic of Korea who continue to support us in assisting the Rohingya refugees who remain entirely dependent on external support,” said Richard Ragan, WFP Country Director in Bangladesh.
