Even after four years they were forced to flee Myanmar, almost 900,000 Rohingya refugees at camps in Cox’s Bazar desperately need urgent action to secure their future.
Jeff Labovitz, Director for the Department of Operations and Emergencies (DOE) in International Organization for Migration (IOM) said this during his official visit to Bangladesh last week.
He also said, “The Rohingya are still waiting for durable solutions.’’

Labovitz urged all the stakeholders to come together with a durable solution for their future.
During his visit in Cox’s Bazar, the DOE director checked on the progress of rebuilding the camps destroyed by a fire in March which left thousands without shelter.
