The United Nations' migration agency has slashed aid to hundreds of Rohingya refugees in Indonesia, according to a letter seen by Reuters and two people briefed on the matter, because of massive funding cuts by their biggest donor,

Now, the $6 monthly voucher means Rohingya refugees will receive about 24 Bangladesh taka (£0.15) daily. An egg costs 13-14 taka and a banana costs 10-12 taka, Mr Rahman said, adding that it will cause severe nutritional deficiency among refugees.

The U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) called on Friday for urgent funding for its Bangladesh operations, warning that a funding deficit would curb rations for the Rohingya in the world's largest refugee settlement.

The United Nations has warned it will have to cut monthly food rations to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh from $12.50 to $6 next month, unless it can raise funds to avert a measure that would worsen hunger in the world's largest refugee settlement.
