<p>We have no access to northern Rakhine State so cannot accurately predict humanitarian
needs; triangulating numerous sources of information we assess that needs are likely
to be acute for the entire population, both ethnic Rakhine and Rohingya. In addition
to the 480,000 Rohingya now displaced into Bangladesh, the Government of Burma has
stated it estimates a further 27,000 ethnic Rakhine are also internally displaced
within Rakhine State. The UK has repeatedly called on the Burmese authorities to end
violence, facilitate full humanitarian access to all communities in Rakhine State,
encourage return and implement the recommendations of the August 2017 Rakhine Advisory
commission report. The UK is providing an additional £30 million to meet the urgent
needs in both Bangladesh and Burma of those affected by the violence.</p>
