World leaders must address renewed concerns over funding

The UK calls on the international community to prioritise long-term support for the Rohingya people on the anniversary of the crisis, according to a press release of UK Department for International Development.

Conditions in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine state are not ready yet for the repatriation of hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas who have fled a military crackdown, says Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of Red Cross, after visit to the region.

Appreciating Bangladesh's generous support, visiting World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim says they are insisting that generous humane countries that support refugees should not be punished.

China will assist in the repatriation of Rohingya mass who have been living as refugees in Bangladesh, fleeing from persecution in Myanmar.

The UN refugee agency and other groups urge a rethink of the plan to send Rohingya refugees back to Myanmar amid fears of forced repatriations and the inability of aid agencies to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands who fled bloodshed at home.

More time is needed to prepare the return of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh to northern Rakhine State in Myanmar, the UN refugee chief said yesterday, after a Bangladeshi official said the plan to begin it today had been delayed.
