LONDON - Britain on Tuesday announced a further 4.5 million pounds ($5.5 million) in humanitarian support for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
"The UK is committed to finding a long-term solution to the Rohingya crisis. This includes their safe, voluntary and dignified return to Myanmar, when the conditions there allow," Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Britain's Minister for the Indo-Pacific, said in a statement.
