Malnutrition has reached its worst levels in Rohingya children at the world’s largest refugee camp in Bangladesh, the United Nation’s children fund said, amid alarm over likely drastic cuts in food assistance.
The number of children of the ethnic Rohingya minority needing emergency treatment for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Cox’s Bazar camps has increased by 27 per cent in February 2025 compared to the same period last year, the Unicef said on Tuesday.
