"The resolution of that crisis has to happen. And the circumstances need to be created whereby the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh can voluntarily go home safely, with their rights respected and in full dignity,” he said.
He said the food rations for the Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar have been cut from $12 to $10 (per person per month) and then $8 due to funding reductions by international donors.
He met the remarks during his visit to Bangladesh.
During his visit to the South Asian nation, he spent an entire day in Cox's Bazar and met the Rohingyas who fled from Myanmar over the past six years and heard about their experiences and problems.
“We are working with countries in the neighbourhood and with the ASEAN countries,” he said, appreciating the government of Bangladesh and the office of the Refugee, Relief and Repatriation Commissioner.
