The Amnesty International urged international community to pledge support for Rohingya refugees fleeing from Myanmar to Bangladesh.
The rights group also said in a statement on Friday that more countries, particularly those in South Asia, need to play a much bigger role and share the burden of responsibility, reports bdnews24.com.
The call to support the nearly 600,000 new refugees from Myanmar comes before a meeting of high-level representatives at the UN office in Geneva on Monday.
"Bangladesh, a poor country which has shown extraordinary generosity, cannot be left to deal with this situation alone,” said Omar Waraich, deputy South Asia director at Amnesty International.
"The international community must mount a response that addresses both their immediate and long-term needs,” he said.
