United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres and World Bank (WB) Group President Jim Yong Kim will visit Rohingya communities and humanitarian workers in Cox's Bazar district to advocate for increased donor support.
The visit, an official said, will also highlight the "generosity" of Bangladesh in hosting the Rohingyas as well as the need for the international community "to do more", reports UNB.
Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali and UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, among others, will accompany the UN chief during Rohingya camp visit.
They will review the situation of the newly arrived Rohingyas and assess progress towards a safe, voluntary and dignified return of the refugees, according to UN officials.
The visit also aims to lay the groundwork for further dialogue with the government of Bangladesh on medium-term planning for the refugee situation and to reiterate the UN and the World Bank's support for finding comprehensive solutions to the situation of the Rohingya people, said the UN.
Ahead of the Rohingya camp visit, WB President Kim on Sunday said, "We're all extremely concerned about the situation of Rohingyas."
Appreciating Bangladesh's generous support, the visiting World Bank President said they are insisting that generous humane countries that support refugees should not be punished.
Minister Muhith said it is a critical hour for the nation. "It is critical simply because we have a large burden to share."
He said Bangladesh certainly wants Rohingyas to go back to their country from Bangladesh with dignity and safety. "That is what we want."
Terming the situation a humanitarian tragedy, he said they need to move on this to make sure that the issue is addressed in a peaceful way.
