The written statement of the UN Supreme Commissioner for Refugees (UVKB) says that “a joint plan for responding to the humanitarian crisis in Arakan for 2024”, prepared by the UN and its partners, began to be carried out under the leadership of the Bangladesh authorities.
The document calls for the international community to double the help of Rochini refugees and the hosts of communities, a reminder that financing in the amount of $ 852.4 million is needed to cover approximately 1.35 million people, including Rochinya refugees who take their persons in Bangladesh and other communities.
