UN urges escalated aid delivery to ‘deeply traumatized’ Rohingya refugees

‘The UN refugee agency has warned that Rohingya Muslims fleeing to Bangladesh from “unimaginable horrors” in Myanmar will face huge hardships and worsening conditions unless aid efforts are intensified.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said during a Monday news briefing in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka that “solutions to this crisis lie with Myanmar,” insisting, however, that until then, the world had to help the “deeply traumatized” Rohingya refugees.
Grandi, who had met and talked with the distraught refugees on a weekend visit to camps in southeast Bangladesh, said that they had seen “villages burned down, families shot or hacked to death, women and girls brutalized.”
He went on to call for aid to be “rapidly stepped up” and thanked the Bangladesh government for keeping its border open to the refugees.
Grandi also said on Sunday that Bangladesh needed “massive international assistance” to feed and shelter over 430,000 Rohingya Muslims who had fled Myanmar to the neighboring country over the past four weeks.’
