UNHCR chief fears for Rohingya support as Ukraine grabs attention

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi callS for continued support for some one million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh as the crises in Ukraine and Afghanistan grab much of the world's attention. Grandi makes the call after UNHCR said some 920,000 Rohingya and the host community in Bangladesh need at least 881 million dollars support this year. But as of May 2022, the Joint Response Plan is only 13 percent funded.
