Asked by:
Wendy Morton (Conservative)

The UK has been actively engaged in addressing the humanitarian situation in Bangladesh. The UK has provided £405 million to support the Rohingya and host communities since 2017, including food provision, clean water, healthcare and protection services. I announced £10.3 million of humanitarian funding for Rohingya refugees and for disaster response during my visit to Bangladesh in November 2024. During my visit, I discussed the Rohingya refugee response with the Interim Government of Bangladesh, the United Nations and other international development partners. The UK regularly coordinates with international counterparts on Rohingya issues.
