UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett warns of a “race against time” to protect Rohingya refugees

Описание: Heavy rains, potential cyclones and adverse weather conditions are threatening to put more than one hundred thousand Rohingya refugees living in congested settlements in Cox’s Bazar district at serious risk in the coming months. Blanchett, on return from a visit to Bangladesh this week, is calling for urgent action to support UNHCR – the UN Refugee Agency - and its partners, working with the Government of Bangladesh, to avoid an “emergency within an emergency”.
