While visiting the Balukhali Rohingya camp in Ukhia, he said, “I promise that we will do everything to avoid a funding crisis. I will talk to all countries in the world so that they help us and ensure adequate funds.”
Guterres said he will be vocal so that the international community does not forget the Rohingya. More help is urgently needed for the Rohingya to live a dignified life.
He also said that the Rohingya want to return to Myanmar. It is important for the international community to continue all efforts to establish peace in Myanmar and ensure the rights of the Rohingya.
Guterres visited various facilities, including the IOM-run Rohingya Cultural Memorial Center in Balukhali camp.
