Facing a severe funding gap, the United Nations World Food Programme will slash monthly food rations for more than a million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh to £4.70 — about $6 — per person. Aid workers warn the cut, prompted by major U.S. and other donor shortfalls, will intensify hunger and instability in the vast Cox’s Bazar camps.
