4. SOUNDBITE (English) Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of Bangladesh:
“Bangladesh now hosts 1.3 million forcibly displaced Rohingyas from Myanmar that makes Cox’s Bazar the largest refugee camps. In addition, around 32,000 new babies are born each year in Rohingya camps. On the contrary, only less than 500,00 of them are living in Myanmar. This picture manifests that due to continued persecution, Rohingyas are leaving Myanmar.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of Bangladesh:
“Umbilical relationship of Rohingyas with their homeland cannot be severed. So, their right to return to their homeland has to be secured. Therefore, we urge all parties and partners to work hard for charting a practical roadmap for their speedy, safe, dignified, voluntary and sustainable return to their homes in Rakhine as soon as possible.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of Bangladesh:
“Undiminished contribution of donors and humanitarian partners is essential to ensure continuity of life saving programs. We make an appeal to the international donors to enhance their commitments in order to fill out the fund gaps in the Joint Response Plan for 2025-26. At the same time, we urge upon the stakeholders to undertake consolidated efforts for adequate and sustainable funding for future as well.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Muhammad Yunus, Chief Adviser of Bangladesh:
“Regional and international stakeholders must continue to stand resolutely against the heinous crime of ethnic cleansing. Towards that, we urge upon all to calibrate their relations with Myanmar and the Arakan Army and all parties to the conflict in order to promote an early resolution of this protracted crisis.”
11. Wide of conference room
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Raouf Mazou, Assistant High Commissioner for operational and assistant Secretary General (UNHCR):
“It has become increasingly difficult to mobilize the resources required. As of today, the funding of the Joint Response Plan stands at approximately 60%, while the continued provision of food assistance could be secured until December. The availability of LPG beyond September is uncertain. Services such as education and health have already been reduced. It is essential that as Bangladesh continues to provide a global public good, the required funding is made available in the spirit of burden sharing, reaffirmed by the Global Compact on Refugees.”
