EU allocates €300,000 in humanitarian aid to gutted Cox’s Bazar Rohingya camps

UNB :
In response to the recent fire in one of the refugee camps, hosting nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar, the European Union has released €300 000 to assist the affected population.

The incident left over 5 000 people without shelter.

The funding will serve to provide immediate emergency assistance to address the most urgent needs, notably in terms of shelter, water and site development, said the EU Embassy in Dhaka on Tuesday.

It will be implemented by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and complement efforts of other humanitarian partners.
