UN Secretary-General António Guterres, during his visit to Bangladesh, urged global support for Rohingya refugees amidst dwindling aid. He praised Bangladesh's hospitality and warned of a humanitarian disaster without immediate assistance.

Bangladesh says repatriation of the refugees to Myanmar is the ultimate solution. The Buddhist-majority Myanmar has been accused in an international court of genocide against Rohingya. Complexities over verification and other diplomatic and political issues have made the future of the refugees bleak.

The United Nations will do all it can to help prevent food rations being cut for Rohingya refugees in camps in Bangladesh, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday during a visit to the world’s largest refugee settlement.
