The United Council of Rohingya Refugees announced that it organized a recent public demonstration to draw attention to what it described as an “ongoing humanitarian crisis” affecting Rohingya displaced persons. The protest, staged by members of the refugee community and their supporters, was intended to highlight persistent shortages of food, medical supplies, and safe shelter, as well as to call for increased international assistance and protection for the vulnerable population.

Officials from local authorities acknowledged the demonstration and reiterated their commitment to cooperate with humanitarian agencies, while urging the council to pursue dialogue through established channels. The United Council reiterated that sustained advocacy and concrete aid measures are essential to address the dire conditions faced by Rohingya refugees, emphasizing that the protest aims to keep the crisis on the public and diplomatic agenda.
