Rohingya refugees need urgent help: UN top official
United Nations, Sep 28 (IANS) Rohingya refugees who have fled violence in Myanmar for shelter in neighbouring Bangladesh are in desperate need of help, UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi has said, as he called on the Myanmar authorities to halt the violence.
Grandi, who returned on Tuesday night from a trip to Bangladesh, said: “They have absolutely nothing… Evidently they had to flee from a very urgent situation, from very sudden violence — so they need everything.”
Rohingyas have spoken of their homes being torched and of neighbours turning on neighbours, CNN reported.
According to the latest report from the Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) in Bangladesh, at least 480,000 Rohingya refugees have arrived in Bangladesh since clashes began in Myanmar’s Rakhine state on August 25.
Grandi, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said that including some 300,000 Rohingya refugees already in Bangladesh, between 700,000 and 800,000 people were now sheltering there in overcrowded and insanitary conditions, posing a risk of epidemics.
On top of that, he warned that “the risk of the spread of terrorist violence in the whole region was very, very high” if the situation was not resolved.
“It is very clear that the cause of this crisis is in Myanmar, but the solution of this crisis also lies in Myanmar,” Grandi said.
The Myanmar authorities have said the August violence in Rakhine state was instigated by Rohingya militants and deny UN accusations of “ethnic cleansing”.
Grandi, who visited Rakhine state in July, condemned the insurgent attacks that left 12 police officers dead the following month.
But he stressed that underdevelopment in Rakhine state — and particularly the poor treatment of the Rohingya Muslims — had played a large part in the current crisis.
He called on the Myanmar authorities to implement the recommendations of a UN advisory panel headed by former UN chief Kofi Annan.
Two key points were the lack of citizenship for Rohingya in Myanmar and the “dramatic underdevelopment” of Rakhine state, affecting both Buddhist and Muslim communities, he said.
Grandi said he hoped to discuss the issue of Rohingya statelessness with Myanmar authorities at a meeting in Geneva next week.

Chaitra Navratri 2022 begins on the first day of the Hindu month (lunar-solar calendar) Chaitra. It marks the end of spring season and beginning of summer season, and that’s why it is also known as Vasant Navratri. The nine-day-long festival has already started from April 2. Tomorrow, that is April 3, is the second day of Chaitra Navratri, and Goddess Brahmacharini is worshipped on the second day of the holy festival.
Chaitra Navratri 2022 Day 2: Maa Brahmacharini Significance
Maa Brahmacharini is known for her pure and sincere devotion and determination. According to the drik panchang, Goddess Parvati took birth at the home of Daksha Prajapati. In this form, the Goddess Parvati was a great Sati and her unmarried form is worshipped as Goddess Brahmacharini. It is also believed that Lord Mangal, the provider of all fortunes, is governed by Goddess Brahmacharini. She did severe penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband and performed hard austerity. Due to this, she was called Brahmacharini. According to Hindu mythologies, Goddess Brahmacharini was on a diet of Bilva leaves for 3000 years while she prayed to Lord Shankar. Later, she even stopped eating Bilva leaves and continued her penance without any food and water.
