As US withdraws aid from Bangladesh, humanitarian crisis worsens
When US President Donald Trump and his administration decided to dismantle the United States' foreign aid program, they left NGOs across the world unable to continue their work. Our Observer is part of the persecuted Rohingya minority and spoke to us from the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. More than a million people living there depend on humanitarian aid, most of which had been funded by the United States.
The United States freeze on foreign humanitarian aid has had serious consequences for the Rohingya, the persecuted Muslim minority originally from Myanmar, though they are denied citizenship there. The United Nations has said that the Myanmar army’s persecution of the Rohingya in 2016 and 2017 amounted to “ethnic cleansing”. More than 800,000 Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh in what is considered to be one of the world’s most serious ongoing humanitarian crises.
The vast majority of the Rohingya people now live in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, a town in Bangladesh on the border with Myanmar. More than a million Rohingya live there. Some families have been in these camps for generations after fleeing Myanmar during other waves of violence back in the 1990s.
The 33 refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar form a sort of city, which has everything from training centres to hospitals. And yet this is a "city" whose refugee inhabitants are not allowed to leave or work and who depend entirely on humanitarian aid provided by many NGOs, many of which had been supported by the United States.
In 2024, the United States funded 55 percent of the humanitarian aid provided to the Rohingya. Some of that involves direct contributions to the United Nations. However, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) also funds many smaller NGOs in Cox’s Bazar. Less than a month after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to abruptly freeze 92 percent of USAID’s money for foreign humanitarian aid, this decision has already had serious consequences on the refugees in Cox’s Bazar.
Several medical centres have closed, while others are facing acute staff shortages. Some, like the International Red Cross Hospital, are reduced to providing emergency care only.
The United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP) provides the bulk of essential food aid to the Rohingya. However, in early March, the WFP announced that because it had lost US funding, they would have to cut the food rations provided to the Rohingya by more than half, going from $12.50 to $6, as from April. Some other actors provide occasional and limited food supplies, especially during the holidays of Ramadan and Eid, but this aid is minimal compared to the WFP’s contribution.
The WFP’s announcement sparked immediate anxiety in Cox’s Bazar. The WFP made a first reduction to rations back in 2023, when they faced another funding shortage, and this led to a sharp increase in the rates of malnutrition among children in the camps.
'The world has a responsibility to feed those in need'
Our Observer Sahat Zia Hero has been living in Cox’s Bazar since 2017. Hero, who is passionate about photography, founded a magazine called Rohingatographer to showcase the photographic work of refugees.
We have no way to meet our needs ourselves. We are not allowed to work or to leave the camps to fish, for example.
[American aid] provides vital services like food rations. Without this, Rohingya refugees would not survive. We are really frightened.
Some refugees haven’t been able to obtain vital medical care because the hospitals lack doctors, there are not enough midwives to attend all the births. I am very afraid for my community.
I want to call on all world leaders to continue to support all of the Rohingya refugees – to not forget us.
We are aware that the world is being confronted with many other crises. But cutting off displaced people’s access to food is a crime.
The world has a responsibility to feed those in need, those who are isolated because of wars that they did not start.
Is it true the war in Rohingja state was not started by the Rohingja? Rohingjas are Muslim people and Muslims, when in a majority, do not subject themselves to Buddhists or any other faith. Was Myanmar saving the country from losing a large state to Islam when it committed genocide? Is this what Europe is headed toward?
Should Islam be held somewhat, if not entirely, accountable for the Rohingja's plight? Should Islam be paying for all of the refugees in Cox's Bazaar? Should Christendom be paying for them?
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres traveled to Cox’s Bazar on March 14 to sound the alarm about the increasingly desperate situation faced by Rohingya refugees. He said that budget cuts to international aid for Rohingya refugees were “unacceptable”. The same day, news wire service Reuters revealed that a US official overseeing the dismantling of the main US foreign aid agency wants to end all US aid to the Rohingya, saying that “nothing is owed”.
India: Muslim mob lynches youth for burning a copy of the Qur’an
No one in the mob paused to wonder why anyone would be so upset with this book as to burn a copy. Self-reflection is not exactly a strong suit among certain communities.
Manipur: Meitei Muslim youth lynched by Muslim mob after he burnt a copy of Quran and shared the video on social media
OpIndia, April 5, 2025:
In Manipur, a Muslim youth from the Meitei Pangal community was lynched by a Muslim mob for allegedly burning a copy of the Quran. The incident took place in Yairipok of Thoubal district on Friday night after the victim shared a video on social media showing him desecrating the holy Quran.
The deceased has been identified as Md Imran, son of Late Azaruddin from Yairipok Kekru Loubuk Leikai. He had uploaded a video in which he was seen holding a copy of Quran in his hand and making provocative comments on the Islamic scripture. After that, he was seen setting the book on fire.
This, of course, would qualify for a Darwin award!
While burning the book, Imran said that the Quran contained the story of the creation of the world by the Almighty Creator, and added that time for the Quran has come to an end. He then said that the Creator had commanded it to be burnt and then proceeded to set the holy book on fire.
Curiously, I believe the end of Islam is only a few years away when Jesus, the Real Creator of the world, returns to bring judgment upon false religions and false Christians - The Great Tribulation
The video went viral quickly, causing outrage among the Muslims in the area. A large group of Muslims tracked him down and attacked him. The incident took place at around 6:20 PM.
The youth died in the mob attack. At around 9 PM on Friday, the police recovered the body near a river bank at Yairipok Bamon Leikai Mathak after getting information about the incident. Reportedly, his body was found without any clothes….
Islamic hyesteria! Muslims must protect the Quran because Allah appears incapable of doing so.
Indonesia: Officials refuse to allow construction of church though congregation met all requirements for permit
This likely has to do with the fact that Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches. Christians are “forbidden to ring church bells or display crosses, recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays, and are forbidden to build new churches” – Reliance of the Traveller o.11.5 (6,7)
In the Islamic scheme of things, the Islamic community must always grow, and the non-Muslim community always diminish.
Authorities in Indonesia Refuse to Back Church Construction
Morning Star News, March 31, 2025:
SURABAYA, Indonesia (Morning Star News) – Local officials in East Borneo Province, Indonesia refused to approve construction of a church building even though the congregation had met all requirements for a permit, sources said.
In Samarinda, capital of East Borneo Province, the Samarinda Ministry of Religious Affairs Office refused to provide a letter of recommendation for Toraja Christian Church in Sungai Keledang, Samarinda Seberang Sub-District, even though the church completed all administrative requirements for a license permit, according to the Indonesian Movement for All (Pergerakan Indonesia untuk Semua, PIS). The church has sought the permit for 10 years.
“Oh my God…How can people worship when we make it difficult?” PIS stated on its website. “What other reason does the Ministry of Religious Affairs office have for refusing to provide a letter of recommendation? Sounds cowardly, isn’t it? This injustice should not be tolerated.”
The congregation has spent 10 years on the application, obtaining names and ID cards of 90 people approved by local officials, approval of 60 local people and village heads and last September winning recommendations of the local Interfaith Forum, according to PIS.
Hendra Kusuma, chairman of the East Kalimantan Alliance for Advocacy for Freedom of Religion and Belief, accused the government of fearing Muslim groups that are religiously intolerant rather than enforcing rules, PIS stated.
“They are more afraid of a handful of people who reject the church’s existence, even though the state guarantees freedom of religion and worship,” Hendra told kaltimtoday.com….
