Rohingya

Independent humanitarian agencies remain largely blocked from accessing vulnerable communities in northern Rakhine, raising major concerns about unmet medical and humanitarian needs.

The arrival of pre-monsoon rains in southern Bangladesh have exposed alarming level of risks for Rohingya refugees, say United Nations humanitarian agencies.

A new report has revealed the wide-ranging daily challenges and fears faced by refugee children, many of whom reported witnessing brutal violence, killing of family members or their homes being burnt to the ground in Myanmar.

The United Nations expert on the human rights situation in Myanmar has expressed disappointment at the Government’s decision to deny her all access to the country and withdraw cooperation for the duration of her tenure.
