USAID-funded projects in both Myanmar and Bangladesh have already been hit, with UN agencies, international NGOs, and local aid groups having to scale back some healthcare services, food aid, and educational programmes. Even before Hasina’s ouster, Bangladesh was struggling to deal with the rise of armed gangs and a spate of arson attacks in the Rohingya camps. Dhaka has had to take out a $407 million loan from the World Bank just for services for the Rohingya refugees. The CEO of one local aid organisation said everything from vaccination to nutrition, from sanitation to skills development projects, has been hit by the cuts and stop-work orders. He said his family depended on the food aid, even if it often wasn’t enough, because they are not allowed to seek employment outside the camps.
