Dhaka, MINA – The Swedish government has allocated $12.7 million in humanitarian assistance through eight partner organizations to support over one million Rohingya refugees and host communities in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

According to the Dhaka Tribune, the funding will be distributed through humanitarian partners including UNHCR, WFP, Norwegian Refugee Council, Islamic Relief, Action Against Hunger, Save the Children, and the International Rescue Committee.

The aid will provide food and nutrition support, protection services, healthcare, emergency education, water and sanitation facilities, and assistance for survivors of gender-based violence and child protection initiatives.

“This year, we are increasing our initial allocation compared to last year due to rising humanitarian needs, especially in the world’s largest refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar,” said Swedish Ambassador to Bangladesh Nicolas Weeks.
