The UK has been actively engaged in addressing the humanitarian situation of the Rohingya in Bangladesh. We are a leading donor to the Rohingya response and have provided over £420 million to support the Rohingya and host communities since 2017, including food provision, clean water, healthcare and protection services. The UK ensures that aid reaches the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, by working with international partners like the UN Refugee Agency, International Organization of Migration and World Food Programme. For detailed information on projects we fund and their outcomes, you can refer to the UK Government's Development Tracker:
