The UK is at the forefront of international efforts to support Rohingya refugees and the communities which host them. In Bangladesh, this includes engaging with the UN and non-government organisations to address protection risks. We are closely monitoring the reports of abduction of Rohingya refugees in Teknaf. We continue to engage with the Interim Government in Bangladesh and other partners on the security situation in the camps, including on the need to improve policing in the camps. As a leading donor to the Rohingya response in Bangladesh, we have provided £405 million to support the Rohingya and host communities since 2017.
