5. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, U.N. Secretary-General:
"That would be an unmitigated disaster (US aid cuts). People would suffer and people would die. I strongly appeal to the international community to allow us to avoid these threats. More funding is absolutely essential to guarantee the minimum support to the Rohingya population in Bangladesh."

“If you are going to give us $6 or 600 -700 taka the coming month, then send us back to our country with safety and security — we will be very happy. We will not be able to live on that ($6), and we will die here. Our situation will be like that. There will be an increase in thieves and robbers here. People will get kidnapped, things will be stolen, and unrest will increase.”

How are we going to send them to school? How are we going to afford fish if we don’t have enough? It will be very difficult for us to live in every aspect.”

STORYLINE:
They first faced persecution in their country.
Then a deadly crackdown by Myanmar’s army sent hundreds of thousands fleeing into Bangladesh.
Driven from their homes, many of the Rohingya have since lived in refugee settlements entirely dependent on humanitarian assistance.
For more than 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh it means they could be left with too little food and money for survival.
No cuts have happened yet.
