The Commission has allocated €76 million in EU humanitarian to address the needs of people affected by the main crises in South and Southeast Asia. Out of this amount, €32.3m will support Rohingya refugees living in Bangladesh. A further €33m will support the population affected by the ongoing conflict in Myanmar. The remaining €10.8m will support refugees and host communities in nearby countries in the region, as well as to strengthen disaster preparedness.

Preparedness and Crisis Management Commissioner Hadja Lahbib (pictured), was in Bangladesh on 3 March, where she visited Rohingya refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, and met with humanitarian partners and national authorities.

More information is available in the press release.
