The United Kingdom on Monday pledged fresh humanitarian support for the Rohingya refugees ahead of the looming cyclone and monsoon season.
They also vowed provide vaccine to almost one million people against deadly cholera, as per a UNB report.
As per latest announcement, the Kingdom would provide an additional £70 million on top of £129 million which they already provided to manage the crisis.
UK aid is providing medication, sturdier shelters, food, clean water and support for women to give birth safely.
Through the new support, the UK aid is expected to provide 200,000 people with the necessary materials to strengthen their shelters; 300,000 people with food and clean water, 30,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women and 120,000 under-fives with emergency nutrition, among other assistances.
It is also helping to support a large vaccination campaign against cholera in and around the Cox's Bazar camps that will benefit almost a million people.
International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt said the scale of this crisis is growing daily.
With the devastating cyclone and monsoon season looming, even more lives could be lost, landslides could wipe out shelters and fatal diseases could spread.
Mordaunt said Bangladesh government must now use their expertise to ensure Rohingya families are saved from the dangerous rains.
