<p>The UK has been a leading donor to the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh, having committed
£293.5 million since August 2017. This has been channelled through UN agencies and
NGOs, working alongside the government of Bangladesh. UK aid has been instrumental
in improving the lives of the 890,000 refugees and the vulnerable local Bangladeshi
communities in Cox's Bazar district. Our funding has provided lifesaving support including
food, healthcare, nutrition, education, clean water and sanitation, and targeted support
for women and girls. The UK continues to lead international efforts to maintain attention
on the Rohingya crisis and seek durable solutions and accountability for atrocities
committed. This includes work through the UN Security Council and the international
conference hosted in October 2020 alongside the US, EU and UN.</p>
