The United Nations, in collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh, has launched an appeal for $710.5 million to meet the urgent needs of 1.56 million Rohingya refugees residing in Cox's Bazar camps and on Bhasan Char, as well as local host communities. This appeal is a response to escalating humanitarian pressures and aims to sustain essential services amid declining international support. The funding request is 26% lower than in 2025, focusing on the minimum requirements for lifesaving assistance. Key allocations include $247.3 million for food, $128 million for shelter, and $61.2 million for water, sanitation, and hygiene. Despite significant contributions of nearly $5.42 billion from the international community since 2017, the humanitarian needs remain acute, with 35% of camp households relying solely on food assistance. As conditions worsen, many refugees are forced to take dangerous sea journeys to seek better opportunities. The UN stresses the importance of international solidarity until a safe and dignified return to Myanmar is possible.
