Donors “deeply concerned” by worsening Rakhine situation
Donors from the international community including the United States, European Union and other countries on Thursday said they remain deeply concerned by the worsening situation in Rakhine State of Myanmar and the cross-border implications.
“Today we reiterate the importance of protecting all civilians,” they said in a joint media release marking World Refugee Day.
The donor countries said the hope remains that safe, voluntary, dignified and sustainable repatriation will be possible for Rohingya refugees in the long-term.
