Urgent Humanitarian Support Now

Rohingya refugees in camps across Bangladesh and beyond survive on aid. We urgently need food, clean water, shelter, healthcare, and education. Humanitarian support preserves dignity, saves lives, and provides hope while long-term solutions are pursued. No child, mother, or elder should suffer without basic human needs.
Many Rohingya refugees remain in Bangladesh, Thailand, and other neighboring countries, dependent on humanitarian aid for survival. Urgent and sustained support is needed to provide food, shelter, healthcare, clean water, and education, protecting lives and ensuring dignity while long-term solutions are pursued.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya are internally displaced, and more than 150,000 Rohingya men, women and children have fled across the border to Bangladesh in the last 20 months.

Volunteers carry high energy biscuits provided by WFP to the affected Rohingya refugees in the Kutupalong Balukhali Rohingya refugee camp on 24 March 2021. A massive fire on Monday wiped out the shelters of thousands of Rohingya refugees. As rapid assistance, WFP distributed high energy biscuits and hot meals.

The Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated refugee camps in the world. A fire broke out on Monday, 21 March, and rapidly spread across four camps in Kutupalong Balukali camp. 

Assessment results indicate that at least 11 people lost their lives and around 360 people were injured. As of 24 March, over 300 people were still missing, and more than 45,000 people displaced. At least 10,000 shelters have been damaged or destroyed as well as essential facilities including hospitals, distribution points, learning centres, women friendly services. These figures are likely to climb as assessments continue. Two WFP nutrition centres and one General Food Distribution point were burnt to the ground and two Fresh Food Corners have been destroyed. WFP was forced to also close an e-voucher outlet in Camp 9 until teams can assess the damage to the site.

WFP’s Engineering, field operations and General Food Assistance teams have been on the ground since the fire was first reported. Heavy machinery – including water bowsers, tankers and excavators – were deployed to assist in containing the blaze. 

WFP is providing rapid response food assistance in the form of high energy biscuits, in the immediate response, and hot meals. Up to 14,000 families received HEBs and around 60,000 meals are being distributed at lunch and again at dinner. WFP is also providing tens of thousands of liters of drinking water to support IOM-led distributions.

Temporary structures have been built on the sites where two WFP Nutrition centers burned down. Together with UNICEF, WFP is providing screening for malnourished children and replacing supplementary feedin
