Aid for Refugees from Myanmar

Drastic cuts to aid for the Rohingya – we have to act!

Overnight, food rations for residents of the world’s largest refugee camp have been slashed in half! What does this decision by the World Food Programme (WFP) mean for Momtaz, Surrozol, and Minara, who is raising two small children in a makeshift shelter? It means that instead of receiving €11, they will now get just €5,5. For an entire month!

Brutal funding cuts for humanitarian aid, decided in the Oval Office, are pushing the most vulnerable citizens of the world to the brink of life and death. A few weeks ago, the U.S. administration upended the table by halting funding for humanitarian projects worldwide. This has severely depleted global aid funds for the most vulnerable and forced the UN to impose deep cuts as well. For organizations working in the world’s poorest regions, this is a devastating blow—one that strips millions of people of even the bare minimum level of security.

In Cox’s Bazar camp, food and heating fuel are running out, and medical centers are closing one by one. The previous €11 in monthly support barely lasted a few days—€5,5 is a disaster, leading directly to hunger. Global aid is crumbling. To survive, the Rohingya—the most persecuted minority in the world—urgently need our help. If we don’t act, those under our care will not survive this crisis.

These people have already endured unimaginable suffering. Their homeland has sentenced them to death in its cruelest form. Ethnic cleansing continues to this day. Satellite images of their villages show nothing but scorched, flattened land. With no possibility of return, they remain trapped in Bangladesh, deprived of basic rights—the right to work, to education, even to leave the camp—barely surviving at the edge of poverty, an edge that has just been pushed even further down.

When they speak of their homeland, they recount scenes from the worst nightmare—repeated rapes, the murder of loved ones before their eyes, people burned alive. Among them are single mothers, wounded survivors, and the elderly—those who no longer have the strength to fight for survival.

We cannot restore their rights, not even the most basic ones. But we can help restore their dignity—by saving them from hunger and suffering.

What we do for the Rohingya:

• We provide food for the most vulnerable in the camp;
• We support the weak and wounded by funding medical treatment;
• We equip shelters with essential items that save lives and ensure women’s safety, such as flashlights.

Every cent makes a real difference. Let’s not allow those who escaped hell to die from hunger and lack of basic medical care in a camp that was meant to offer hope but has become yet another threat. We are counting on your help!
