The international community has promised to provide US $ 345 million for serving Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, in a statement described as encouraging.
United Nations Humanitarian Director Mark Lowcock noted the contributions to be encouraging and refreshing donors who showed solidarity and affection for the families and communities that needed them.
Some of the money promised before the meeting with Lowcock said he hopes more promises in the future.
" We expect governments and partners to promote this speed in all aspects, and to contribute support, to transform words into action, and to achieve lasting solutions to address the roots of this crisis to end it immediately" said Lowcock.
Emphasis on cash withdrawal
Lowcock stressed the importance of nations to invest in cash, taking into account the past experience where the UN faced the uncertainties of the past conflict.He told journalists that the promise is one thing, but it is important for those promises to be converted as real contributions as soon as possible.
Among the 35 countries and the promised region are Britain's promised $ 63 million, the EU has promised $ 42 million, US $ 38 million and Sweden $ 24 million in accordance with the United Nations. In time it did not seem to be a solution to the crisis in short, Lowcock noted that there may be a need to re-establish it in the future.
Director of International Migration Organization, IMO William Lacey Swing, commented on the wave of Rohingya refugees fleeing Bangladesh as the world's fastest refugee crisis, describing it as a threat.
The Bangladesh government and the Cox's Bazar district community located on the border of Bangladesh and Myanmar have been awarded a reputation for their reaction to the wave of Rohingya refugees, especially by leaving the border clear.
"And I join you, thanking Bangladesh under the leadership of its prime minister, by pointing out an example to the whole world, by leaving clear boundaries for people affected by serious violations of human rights, and issues of protection," said Philip Grandi, Director Head of the United Nations refugee agency UNHCR.
The US has put Myanmar's obstacles to rest
The Rohingya community has been denied any fundamental rights for several decades in Myanmar with a large number of Buddhists in Buddhism. In recent times, the security forces of Myanmar have uncovered the shooting, non-armed civilians, and committed gross sexual offenses against women and girls, in favor of UN reports.
At the same time, the United States has expressed its concern to impose restrictions on Myanmar in connection with the oppression, saying in a statement by the Foreign Ministry, that individuals and institutions involved in the same cruelty are being imprisoned.
