answer text <p>The UK has led the international response, including using our role at the UN Security Council to push for international accountability and long-term support for the Rohingya. The UK government is supporting Rohingya in Bangladesh, as well as pushing for improved conditions in Rakhine State in order to allow voluntary, safe and dignified returns, with UNHCR oversight. We have been one of the main donors to the international humanitarian joint response plan and we expect to remain a leading donor.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We continue to discuss the status of the Rohingya with the government of Bangladesh, which prefers not to formally recognise them as refugees. We maintain that refugee status would help to ensure appropriate support and security for the Rohingya. It would also help with raising the urgent funds needed from the international community.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Congestion remains a serious challenge for the Rohingya refugee response and we have encouraged the government of Bangladesh at the highest levels to make more onshore land available. Bangladesh has already provided some additional land and the UK has supported international efforts to make this suitable and safe. We have made clear that any relocation of refugees must be safe, dignified and meet international humanitarian principles and standards.</p> more like this
