The hardships encountered by this already vulnerable minority have grown as a result of the UN’s recent decision to cut aid to the Rohingya people. Cutbacks will surely make their suffering worse and exacerbate the terrible circumstances they have already faced. The repercussions of less healthcare services, restricted access to sanitary facilities and clean water, disrupted educational activities, and the depressing message given to the Rohingya community are explored in this article. The significance of resolving the crisis’ underlying causes is emphasized, along with the moral responsibility of the international community to support the Rohingya. It also urges for quick action to reverse the aid decline.

The Rohingya would suffer significant repercussions from the reduction in healthcare services brought on by the aid cut, especially the children and the elderly. Mortality rates are projected to rise as a result of the insufficient access to medical care, further aggravating the precarious conditions this vulnerable population currently faces.
In the overcrowded Rohingya camps, there is a serious risk to public health due to a lack of access to clean water and sanitary services. Their ability to maintain cleanliness will be further hampered by the aid reduction, increasing their vulnerability to illnesses and raising the possibility of a public health emergency.
The Rohingya people have a moral responsibility to receive assistance from the international world. The decision to cut funding not only runs the risk of compromising the UN’s obligation to defend human rights, but it also disregards the responsibility we all have to end suffering and promote the moral precepts of humanity.
Member nations must put pressure on the UN and humanitarian organisations to stop cutting aid and resume providing the Rohingya community with critical assistance. In order to pressure the Myanmar government to halt the prejudice and persecution of the Rohingya, diplomatic measures should be stepped up.
The core causes of the issue must be addressed in addition to the restoration of emergency relief. In order to encourage responsibility and justice for the atrocities committed against the Rohingya, the international community should put political and financial pressure on Myanmar. The Rohingya must be allowed to return to their homes in safety and voluntarily, with all of their rights and protections intact.

A terrible blow to the Rohingya community’s already vulnerable situation is the decision to cut back on help. The international community needs to act right away to overturn this choice, bring back critical aid, and work towards a long-term solution to the problem. By doing this, we can defend the fundamentals of human rights, advance justice, and give the Rohingya people hope for a better future.
