The UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) warned that essential services for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are at risk of collapsing due to funding shortfalls, with UNHCR's $255 million appeal only 35% funded as of Friday.

The agency said Bangladesh has received around 150,000 Rohingya refugees over the past 18 months, marking the largest influx from Myanmar since 2017, when 750,000 fled deadly violence in Rakhine State. The UN added that biometric identification has helped deliver aid to new arrivals.

More than one million Rohingya refugees are currently crammed into camps covering just 24 square kilometers (9.2 square miles) in Cox's Bazar, southeastern Bangladesh, making it one of the world's most densely populated refugee settlements.

The humanitarian sector has experienced funding reductions from major donors, led by the U.S. under President Donald Trump and other Western countries prioritizing defense spending due to concerns over Russia and China.

Without additional funding, UNHCR said health services will be severely disrupted by September and essential food assistance will cease by December, affecting 230,000 children, including 63,000 recent arrivals.

The funding crisis has already impacted refugees through reduced food vouchers from $12.50 to $6 per person monthly by the World Food Programme, fueling desperation and prompting some to undertake dangerous sea journeys seeking safety.</span

The international community is abandoning vulnerable Rohingya refugees at their most desperate hour, cutting life-saving aid while people face starvation and disease. This funding crisis represents a moral failure that forces refugees into dangerous situations.

Western nations are making responsible choices by prioritizing defense spending over refugee aid given escalating global security threats from Russia and China. These countries cannot be expected to indefinitely fund humanitarian crises while facing their own national security challenges.
