GENEVA (REUTERS) - Nearly one million Rohingya refugees who have fled violence in Myanmar are now in Bangladesh, which is an "untenable situation", Bangladesh told a UN meeting on Monday (Oct 23).

Mr Shameem Ahsan, Bangladesh's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told a donors' meeting that his country was pursuing efforts with Myanmar to find a "durable solution" to the crisis.

But Myanmar continued to issue "propaganda projecting Rohingyas as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh".
