Bangladesh: S Korea to provide $3.2m for Rohingyas

DHAKA, 31 August 2022, (TON): The government of the Republic of Korea has announced its plan to provide US $3.2 million in 2022 to support humanitarian assistance for the Rohingyas and their host communities in Bangladesh.

The South Korean embassy in Dhaka said “this year’s humanitarian assistance will be provided through international organizations such as UNHCR, IOM, WFP, UNICEF and IFRC operating in Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan Char.”

According to the Embassy, some portion of this year’s funding will be allocated to the refugees in Bhasan Char for the second year in a row.

South Korea has supported UN agencies’ operation in Bhasan Char since the inception of the relocation to the island in 2021.
