UN praises Bangladesh for its support to Rohingya refugees

UN officials praised Bangladesh for helping Rohingyas on humanitarian grounds. And conveyed that funds to cover the increasing humanitarian needs are being raised by UN initiatives.

Bangladesh government solicited United Nations' full support for repatriation of Rohingya refugees as the UN agencies extended their humanitarian assistance for those who have fled after the latest spell of violence to erupt in Myanmar's insurgency-affected Rakhine state.

Bangladesh Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali raised the issue when Under Secretary General of the UN Office for the Coordination of the Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA) Mark Lowcock and Executive Director of UNICEF Anthony Lake jointly met him at his office on Wednesday.
