The United Nations' International Organization for Migration (IOM) has reinstated funding for Rohingya refugees in Indonesia, reversing earlier cuts. The decision follows a previous reduction in assistance due to the U.S. foreign aid funding freeze. The IOM confirmed that its largest humanitarian assistance program has been restored and that there are no current planned reductions in services. Over 2,000 Rohingya refugees reside in Indonesia, relying on UN support for shelter and aid, given the legal uncertainties and the reluctance of nations to offer permanent resettlement. The U.S. embassy in Jakarta did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
