Dhaka, June 4 -- United Nations Resident Coordinator in Bangladesh Gwyn Lewis on Wednesday said they are working with the government and NGOs to prioritise life-saving assistance, including food, healthcare, shelter and protection, noting that the Rohingya refugee response remains a 'critical challenge'.

"We have a huge funding shortfall. In 2024, we mobilised USD 580 million under the Joint Response Plan for refugees and host communities. However, 2025 funding is expected to drop significantly and already has," she said while speaking at ''DCAB Talk' at the Jatiya Press Club.

The UNRC said they are trying to prioritise the most urgent needs of the community and they will continue to provide the basic support.
