ICC prosecutor regrets ration cuts for Rohingya
ISTANBUL (AA) – International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan has expressed concern over food ration cuts for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
Last month, the World Food Program (WFP) was forced to cut food rations for Rohingya refugees following a funding shortfall.
Khan led a 10-member delegation to Bangladesh last week, where he met with top officials, including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and members of the Rohingya community.
He said the issue is important not only on a humanitarian level but also for security and stability in the camps.
The World Food Program (WFP) has cut food rations from $10 to $8 per month per person starting June 1. In March, the cut had been reduced from $12 to $10.
He said the Rohingya should not be forgotten and justice should be done for them.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has authorized a full investigation into alleged genocide crimes against the Rohingya in Myanmar in 2019.
More than one million Rohingya have been living in refugee camps in Bangladesh since they fled attacks in Myanmar’s Rakhine state that began in August 2017.
Around 30,000 have also been resettled on Bhasan Char Island.
