Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the Government is taking steps to increase humanitarian support for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.

The UK has been a leading donor to the Rohingya response in Bangladesh, providing £345 million since 2017. This funding provides life-saving assistance through food, shelter, water and sanitation, healthcare and protection to Rohingya refugees and host communities. Although our ODA bilateral funding has reduced due to the fiscal situation, the UK remains committed to working with the UN and the Government of Bangladesh to provide support to the Rohingya whilst they remain in Bangladesh, as well as continuing to push for a long-term solution enabling their return to Myanmar on a safe, voluntary and dignified basis, when the conditions there allow.
