New York: Today, nearly one million Rohingya refugees continue to live in dire conditions, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said.
"Today marks four years since the beginning of the massive refugee influx of Rohingya people and other communities from Myanmar’s Rakhine State into Bangladesh," said the UN Chief in a statement on the fourth anniversary of the Rohingya refugee influx from Myanmar into Bangladesh issued on Wednesday.
He called for urgent action to help bring about meaningful progress in creating the conditions for safe, voluntary, dignified and sustainable return of refugees to Myanmar.
According to him, addressing the root causes of systematic discrimination, disenfranchisement and communal violence in Myanmar is critical.
He also called on the international community to continue to act in solidarity with Rohingya refugees, as well as with the Government and people of Bangladesh, who are hosting them.
"The UN remains committed to continued active support. The plight of the Rohingya must not become a forgotten crisis," he concluded.
