Report on Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh, by Lauren Crosby Medlicott.
A new round of food ration cuts is putting Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh at risk of starvation.
At the beginning of June, the world’s largest refugee settlement of 900,000 people in Cox’s Bazar saw food rations slashed to a level that UN special rapporteurs say will lead to ‘spiking rates of acute malnutrition, infant mortality, violence and even death’.
