Bangladesh’s government implemented an internet shutdown in response to student-led protests, profoundly affecting the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. Nearly one million refugees, dependent on mobile services for essential communication and food procurement, faced severe hardships.
The shutdown disrupted the World Food Programme’s e-voucher system, hampering food distribution. Many refugees, including Mohammad Salim Khan, reported struggling with daily necessities. Humanitarian groups and activists criticized the shutdown, highlighting its detrimental impact on refugees’ lives and urging the restoration of full internet services.
