There are now 860,000 Rohingya refugees living in camps in Cox’s Bazar District, 52 per cent whom are children. The congested environment, shared infrastructure and inadequate health system in the camps puts the Rohingya refugee population at high risk of COVID-19, further complicating the humanitarian emergency. Cox’s Bazar, meanwhile, had among the worst socioeconomic indicators in Bangladesh before the Rohingya influx. The influx and COVID-19-related lockdowns have depressed wages and increased prices, having a significant impact on host community children and their families.

The UNICEF Bangladesh Country Programme has a budget of over US$ 250 million for the period 2017-2020. In addition, the 2020 Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) is appealing for US$ 135 million, to respond to the needs of the Rohingya refugee population, as well as affected host community populations through a district-wide approach. A further $37 million has been included in the global COVID-19 HAC to help prevent and respond to the pandemic and its socioeconomic impacts.
