UN warns of poor conditions of Rohingya Muslim refugees

The United Nations has warned of the poor conditions of Rohingya Muslim refugees who have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh.

UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi was talking to media after visiting two refugee camps in the Bangladeshi city of Cox’s Bazar.

Bangladesh hosts more than four hundred thousand Rohingya Muslims who have fled persecution and violence in Myanmar.

Rohingyas are denied citizenship in Myanmar, where many see them as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. They are usually only permitted to leave the camps – when accompanied by security personnel.
