UN Secretary-General António Guterres is on a four-day visit to assess the situation of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh as fears mount of serious aid cuts following Washington’s decision to shut down USAID operations.
Bangladesh’s Foreign Affairs adviser Touhid Hossain welcomed Mr. Guterres at Dhaka’s main airport on Thursday (March 13, 2025).
Bangladesh’s interim government — which came to power last August — hopes the visit will boost international efforts to mobilise aid for the Rohingya refugees.
A letter from the World Food Program earlier this month said cuts to food rations could take effect from next month at Cox’s Bazar, home to dozens of camps housing Rohingya refugees. The WFP said the food rations could be reduced to $6, from the current $12.50 per month — unless adequate funding is secured.
