Bangladesh has sent a small group of Rohingyas, who entered Bangladesh a couple of days ago from Myanmar in small boats, to Bhasan Char Island.   Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen confirmed UNB about it saying good facilities are there for them.   The decision has been taken aiming to keep Rohingya camps free from coronavirus, he said adding that no Rohingya so far tested positive in the Rohingya camps.   Dr Momen said locals first spotted the Rohingyas coming from Myanmar in small boats.    They then informed the Bangladesh Coast Guard officials who picked up the Rohingyas.    Later, the Rohingyas were sent to Bhasan Char in a coastal ship, Dr Momen said adding, “There’s a very good facility in place.”    Though the Foreign Minister did not mention the exact figures of the Rohingyas who entered Bangladesh in small boats, locals said it will be around 83, including children, men and women.    The Foreign Minister said they came to know the two boats, which were never inside Bangladesh water territory, took position in Myanmar side.   On Friday night, some of the Rohingyas from those relatively big boats entered Bangladesh by small boats, he said.    UNHCR, earlier, said they received reports of boats with Rohingyas aboard being denied entry to countries in the region.   The Rohingyas are reportedly from those two boats which were floating in deep sea for weeks.    Foreign Minister Dr Momen, earlier, explained that the around 500 Rohingyas who were in two boats not in or even near the Bangladesh maritime border.    According to the law of the seas, he pointed out, other countries in the region have responsibilities to save the Rohingyas.  “Bangladesh has shouldered very heavy responsibilities for the Rohingya refugees and must not be left alone to deal with these challenges," Steven Corliss, UNHCR Representative in Bangladesh, told UNB mentioning that turning desperate people away cannot be an answer.   Earlier on May 1, UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, said nearly 400 Rohingyas who arrived by boat recently are mostly registered with the Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar district.   At the end of the 14 days quarantine period, they will return to their families and their shelters within the camps, said the official at the UNHCR mentioning that the vast majority are already registered in Cox’s Bazar camps.   On April 16, members of the Bangladesh Coast Guard rescued 396 Rohingya people from a boat which was denied entry by Malaysia.    The UNHCR expressed deep concern about the fate of the people in these boats, as weather conditions can change rapidly in the Bay of Bengal during this season.    According to reports, the UN refugee agency said, the people aboard had little food or water.    Bangladesh said it does not want to see the loss of a single life at sea and it is time for other countries to come forward and share the responsibilities.   Despite limited resources, Bangladesh has already given shelter to around 1.1 million Rohingyas on humanitarian ground.   UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, UNHCR and the Human Rights Watch requested Bangladesh to accept the rest of the Rohingyas floating at deep sea.   Bangladesh responded to those requests noting that Bangladesh has not taken sole monopoly approach of sheltering Rohingyas.   Bangladesh sent letters to them citing the International Law that it is the responsibility of surrounding countries of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea to share the responsibility of helping the distressed people on the deep sea.   There are eight countries in the region namely Myanmar, India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Bangladesh.   Bangladesh made it clear that humanitarian disaster created by Myanmar must not be the sole responsibility of Bangladesh in the world to shoulder it.
