Synopsis (short abstract) Nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar are entirely dependent on humanitarian aid to meet their basic food needs. In 2023, reduced food rations and devastating cyclones further compromised food security within the refugee camps, leading to a decline in refugees’ daily food consumption. Continued support for both the Rohingya and Bangladeshi communities in Cox’s Bazar is crucial to address their urgent food security challenges. By enhancing agricultural practices and supporting local livelihoods, we can help ensure a more resilient and food-secure future for Rohingya refugees and their host communities. This document provides an overview of FAO's requirements within the framework of the Joint Response Plan for the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis in Bangladesh.

    Nearly 1 million Rohingya refugees live in Cox’s Bazar, the world’s largest refugee camp, and are entirely dependent on humanitarian assistance. Already densely populated and affected by chronic poverty and climatic shocks, the Bangladeshi host community faces their own food security and livelihood challenges. As limited resources are overwhelmed and ecosystems increasingly come under strain, cost-effective emergency agricultural assistance is needed to enable host and refugee communities to meet their food needs themselves. For example, refugee families can secure yields more than double the value of every dollar FAO invests in vegetable production inputs.

    More than 910 000 Rohingya refugees reside in Cox’s Bazar District, including 730 000 refugees who arrived after August 2017, fleeing violence in Myanmar. The refugee influx and ensuant deterioration of the humanitarian situation have strained affected populations’ socio‑economic circumstances. To ensure food security and support livelihood opportunities, it is critical to introduce climate-smart and nutrition-sensitive agricultural technologies, and develop watershed management, disaster mitigation and reforestation strategies.

    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.
