Key statistics
1 million
people were displaced or stateless (or returning from forced displacement) within the country at the end of 2024
136,630
Bangladeshis were refugees, asylum-seekers or in need of international protection worldwide at the end of 2024
$255.5 million
are needed in 2025 to ensure that operations and programmes in Bangladesh are sustained
The Rohingya population relies entirely on humanitarian assistance for protection, food, water, shelter and health. They live in temporary shelters in a highly congested camp setting in Cox’s Bazar, and on the island of Bhasan Char. With Bangladesh ranking third in the world among the States most hit by natural disasters, Rohingya refugees are highly exposed to weather-related hazards, such as cyclones, flooding and landslides.
