Finland has contributed EUR 2 million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to support the Rohingya people in Bangladesh. This funding aims to sustain life-saving assistance, protection services, skills development, and resilience-building programs for the approximately 1.2 million stateless Rohingya refugees who fled persecution in Myanmar. The contribution addresses critical funding gaps as the Rohingya response faces declining international support and worsening camp conditions. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, represented by Ivo Freijsen, and Finland, through Mari Ahmed, emphasized the collective responsibility to protect Rohingya families and support them until safe return to Myanmar is possible. This aid comes as the United_Nations and its partners launched the 2026 Joint Response Plan, appealing for US$710.5 million to assist refugees and Bangladeshi host communities.
