“The inability of humanitarian agencies to reach the affected areas is of great concern, which could lead to further deterioration, which will force vulnerable civilians to cross the border into Bangladesh,” sources close to the Myanmar Rohingya crisis said.
The United Nations and international aid agencies seem to have withdrawn from the affected areas, and most of the international aid workers have left the northern Arakan state after the government indicated that supplies from international aid groups had been found in raids on militant positions.
WFP has also halted food aid in Arakan, which could further deteriorate the situation in Myanmar, forcing vulnerable civilians to cross into Bangladesh.
The sources said that «Bangladesh calls on the State of Myanmar to take immediate measures to stop the ongoing violence in the northern state of Arakan. Bangladesh also calls on the Myanmar authorities to take immediate and effective measures to stop the continued displacement of Myanmar citizens to Bangladesh. “
