Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether, and if so to what extent, they are collaborating with the government of Bangladesh to support of the Burmese Rohingya people currently in refugee camps in Bangladesh.

The UK is providing emergency food relief to the new refugees through the World Food Programme. The UK is also the largest provider of food aid to the 34,000 Rohingya refugees already living in official camps in Bangladesh. In Bangladesh we are also increasing access to nutrition, health and education services for refugees living in makeshift settlements and the host communities that support them.
