Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what funding his Department is providing for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh in financial years (a) 2022-23 and (b) 2023-24.
The UK has been a leading donor to the Rohingya response in Bangladesh since 2017, providing £345 million in vital humanitarian support. In 2022-23 to date, the UK has provided £15m to the Rohingya response, providing food, water, sanitation, shelter, healthcare and protection services to Rohingya refugees and vulnerable host communities. The UK will continue to work with the UN and the Government of Bangladesh to provide support to the Rohingya whilst they remain in Bangladesh. A decision on the 2023-24 allocation is being finalised.
