Ration cuts for Rohingya in Bangladesh leave families struggling to make ends meet

ai generated text

The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that it will be slashing food rations for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh by half due to a lack of funds. The current full ration is being reduced to 726 Bangladeshi taka ($4.60) per person, a significant cut from the previous amount. This decision is expected to impact the nutrition of over 1 million refugees, who are already struggling to survive in squalid relief camps in Bangladesh.

    1. Any reduction in food assistance will push them deeper into hunger and force them to resort to desperate measures just to survive.
    2. Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh remain entirely dependent on humanitarian assistance for their survival.

    1. These cuts will leave families struggling to survive on dangerously low food rations, pushing children into severe malnutrition and exposing thousands to preventable deaths.

    1. To cope with the situation, we had actually been praying for an increase in the $12.50 [£9.70] food ration. But now, they are cutting down the ration even further. We all have to starve now.
