United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that reducing humanitarian aid for the Rohingya refugees, who rely entirely on such assistance, would lead to an “unmitigated disaster”. The UN chief highlighted that the resources available for refugees in 2024 would be reduced by 40 percent in 2025. “With the announcement of cuts in financial assistance, we are facing the dramatic risk of reducing food rations for the Rohingya refugees." "Until now, I urge the international community not to reduce the support to Rohingya refugees, they must step up and guarantee your wellbeing." "I am here to shine a global spotlight on the plight – but also the potential of the Rohingya refugees."
