The UN refugee agency (UNHCR), along with co-hosts the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom, are holding a virtual conference today to urge support for Rohingya refugees and their host communities, more than three years after hundreds of thousands fled Myanmar.
UNHCR stressed the need for stronger international support and a redoubling of efforts to find solutions for the stateless and displaced population.
The ongoing humanitarian response is facing a dramatic shortfall this year as less than half of the requested funds have been received so far. In 2020, the United Nations has appealed for more than one billion USD to meet the humanitarian needs of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. UNHCR said the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has added layers of new challenges and needs to an already complex and massive refugee emergency.
Currently 860,000 Rohingya refugees are living in settlements across Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar district. Most of them, some 740,000, fled from Myanmar during the most recent displacement crisis in 2017. Other countries in the region host some 150,000 Rohingya refugees. An estimated 600,000 live in Myanmar’s Rakhine State.
UNHCR underscored that the international community and countries in the region must not only maintain support for refugees and their hosts, but also adapt to critical new needs and expand the search for solutions.
The Agency said the focus of the search for solutions to this crisis must be on the voluntary, safe, dignified and sustainable return of Rohingya refugees and other displaced people to their homes or to a place of their choosing in Myanmar.
UNHCR said the responsibility for creating conditions conducive to the safe and sustainable return of Rohingya rests with Myanmar authorities. This process will need to engage the whole of society, open and enhance the dialogue between the Myanmar authorities and Rohingya refugees and take measures that help build confidence and trust. These include lifting restrictions on freedom of movement, enabling displaced Rohingya to return to their own villages and providing a clear pathway to citizenship.
Funds raised at today’s conference will go to international organisations and non-governmental organisations working to alleviate the crisis on the ground in Myanmar, throughout the region, and towards the UN-led Joint Response Plan (JRP) in Bangladesh.
