More funding to “keep pace with intensifying needs” is urgently needed in Bangladesh to support thousands of refugees who continue to cross the border with Myanmar each day.

That’s the plea from UN relief chief Mark Lowcock, who joined other agency heads and government representatives at a special pledging conference for Rohingya refugees in Geneva on Monday.

A total of US$344 million was pledged, which falls short of the total required to assist around 1.2 million through to February next year.
