More than 1.1 million of the mostly-Muslim Rohingya have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh in recent years, fleeing violence and persecution. Most of them have settled in the camps at Cox’s Bazar.
Over the last 20 months, at least 150,000 new Rohingya refugees have arrived at the camps, the largest number from Myanmar since 2017. But as the number people in the camps keep increasing, the amount of humanitarian aid has been severely, particularly by Donald Trump in the US. This year, the president slashed funding for United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which previously funded around 55 per cent of the humanitarian response at Cox’s Bazar.
