Rohingya refugees worry about aid cuts
Cape Times
|March 26, 2026
ROHINGYA refugees in Bangladesh expressed concern yesterday as the cash-strapped UN World Food Pro-pomme (WEP) prepares to cut aid for large portions of the 1.2 million-strong group.
-
Bangladesh's vast refugee camps shelter Rohingya who fled persecution in neighbouring war-torn Myanmar, with more than 150 000 new arrivals since 2024, according to the WFP.
The agency is the sole provider of monthly food assistance for the community. But with global funding stretched thin and more people needing aid, resources are already under pressure.
Currently, Rohingya in the Cox’s Bazar camps receive food aid equivalent to $12 (about R200) per month.
From April 1, rations will be cut to just $7 for groups deemed to be at lower risk, and $10 for a middle category.
