Aid cuts could be paid in kids' lives in Rohingya camps, says UN

The United Nations warned on Tuesday that the global aid funding crisis could be paid in children’s lives in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, unless sustainable funds emerge fast.

US President Donald Trump imposed a freeze on foreign aid in January pending a review, sending shockwaves through the humanitarian community.

Huge numbers of the persecuted and stateless Rohingya community live in squalid relief camps in Bangladesh, most having arrived after fleeing a 2017 military crackdown in neighbouring Myanmar.

Successive aid cuts have already caused severe hardship among Rohingya in the overcrowded settlements, who are reliant on aid and suffer from rampant malnutrition.
