<p>The UK is the largest bilateral donor to the Rohingya refugee crisis, and in addition
to the £35m the UK had committed since the start of this crisis, on October 23<sup>rd</sup>
the UK announced a further £12m of support - bringing the UK total to £47m. This funding
is already providing food to 174,000 people, safe water and sanitation for more than
138,000 people and emergency shelter for over 130,000 people. In addition, the new
funding will allow emergency nutrition support to reach more than 60,000 children
under five, counselling and psychological support to reach over 10,000 women suffering
from the trauma of war and over 2,000 survivors of sexual violence, and will provide
medical help for over 50,000 pregnant women to give birth safely. We will continue
to monitor the situation closely.</p>
