Background

Over the past five years (2017-2022), there has been a significant decrease in Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM), declining by 6.9 percent from 19.3 percent in 2017 to 12.4 percent in 2022 among the Rohingya population residing in Cox’s Bazar. However, the SENS survey conducted in November 2023 show that the overall GAM rate has increased from 12.4 percent in 2022 to 15.4 percent (3 percent point increase from 2022) in 2023 and hence exceeding the WHO-UN Agency emergency thresholds and representing the most critical acute malnutrition situation since the 2017 influx. On the other hand, prevalence of GAM was highest (20.1 percent) among children aged 6-23 months compared to those aged 24-59 months (10.9 percent). Additionally, severe wasting has increased from 0.7 percent in 2022 to 2.1 percent in 2023 and continues to be a cause for concern. Besides GAM, stunting among Rohingya children aged 6-59 months is alarmingly high at 41.3 percent. Furthermore, more than one-third (38.1 percent) of children under five years suffer from anemia, with a significantly higher prevalence (56.0 percent) among those below two years. The prevalence of anemia among women of reproductive age is of medium public health concern at 24.1 percent.
