This must not become a forgotten crisis, UNHCR says, calling for renewed and strong international support

The international joint response plan (JRP) to look after the persecuted Rohingyas sheltered in Cox’s Bazar for 2021 will be launched in Geneva on Tuesday.

In the JRP, to be launched virtually due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the United Nations agencies and NGO partners will appeal for $943 million to meet the basic needs of the Rohingyas and the host communities.
