Highlights
- The humanitarian situation in Bangladesh, including the protracted Rohingya crisis and climate-related disasters such as floods, cyclones and landslides, has been negatively impacted by ongoing conflict in Myanmar, which is expected to drive approximately 150,000 new arrivals into Bangladesh by end of 2025.
- In 2026, an estimated 4.4 million people, including 1.9 million children and 1.2 million Rohingya refugees (52 per cent children) will require humanitarian assistance in Bangladesh. Yet the shrinking humanitarian funding environment has negatively impacted the ability to respond to critical needs.
- UNICEF aims to reach 1.3 million people, including 650,000 Rohingya refugees, with life-saving assistance in health, nutrition, WASH, education, child protection and social protection services, while strengthening the resilience of both refugee and host communities.
- After an extensive prioritization exercise emphasizing sustainability, localization and cost efficiency, UNICEF is appealing for US$108 million to provide child- and equity-sensitive humanitarian support for refugees and vulnerable populations affected by displacement, public health emergencies and climate-related disasters in 2026.
