Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has promised to help the more than 300,000 Rohingya who have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh in recent weeks but has urged the Myanmar government “to take their nationals back”.
“We have the ability to feed 160 million people of Bangladesh and we have enough food security to feed the 700,000 refugees,” Hasina said after visiting a new refugee camp, The Kutupalong Refugee Camp in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, theBanglaTribunereported.
“We have let the Rohingya in on humanitarian grounds and I ask the people of this country to help ease their suffering in whatever way they can,” she said after distributing aidat the camp.
Urging action against Myanmar, Hasina said, “I ask the international community to put pressure on the Myanmar government to take back their nationals.
“Bangladesh wants to maintain peace and good relations with its neighbouring countries, but it cannot accept unjust acts of the Myanmar government. We will do all we can to ease the suffering of the Rohingya refugees.”
