Additional Context: This information was compiled as part of Refugee International's issue brief, "A Generational Collapse: Tracking the Toll of Trump’s Humanitarian Aid Cuts." The analysis draws on publicly reported humanitarian impact data, their own field reporting, and reporting from refugee-led organizations and community-based NGOs in multiple crisis-affected countries. It is not an exhaustive catalog of all impacts.
This information was reported by Refugee International in May 2025. The Hepatitis C treatments planned through World Health Organization programming were put on pause. As Refugees International stated, an estimated 300,000 Rohingya refugees were directly impacted by the U.S. aid cuts.
Devex Researcher Note: At nearly the same time as this information was reported, MSF drastically expanded its Hepatitis C programming for Rohingya refugee populations in Bangladesh.
