Synopsis (short abstract) Since 25 August 2017, 688 000 Rohingya refugees escaping violence and persecution in Myanmar have settled in camps, settlements and within host communities in Cox’s Bazar district, Bangladesh, bringing the total number of refugees in the area to more than 900 300. The large number of new arrivals has placed extensive pressure on the environment and on local services, and increased the need for emergency food and nutrition support for refugees and host communities.

    Cox’s Bazar is one of the poorest and most vulnerable districts in Bangladesh, with development indicators that are far below the national average. Addressing the food security and livelihood needs of both refugees and host communities will require strengthening food systems, localizing production, enhancing market linkages and strengthening sustainable natural resource management.

    Since August 2017, approximately 730 000 Rohingya refugees, including more than 400 000 children, have fled into Cox’s Bazar district, Bangladesh following violence in Myanmar. The crisis has had a large environmental impact, leading to loss of agricultural land, reduced water supply, deforestation and reduction of agricultural production. It is critical to focus on environmental rehabilitation to build resilience and support the livelihoods of refugees and vulnerable host families. Fro 2019, FAO requires USD 4.7 million to assist 110 000 people.

    Nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh live in camps in Cox’s Bazar and on the island of Bhasan Char, relying entirely on humanitarian aid. The influx of refugees adds immense pressure on host communities and the environment, in a densely populated country at risk of extreme weather events. Refugee and host communities need urgent support, and environmentally-sound solutions, to improve food production and access.
