Cutting off food aid in Cox's Bazar is not the right solution, says Myanmar Rohinya organisation


KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama): The Myanmar Ethnic Rohingya Human Rights Organisation in Malaysia (Merhrom) is deeply shocked with the decision by the World Food Programme (WFP) to cut food aid for the Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar Refugee Camps.

Its President Zafar Ahmad Abdul Ghani, in a statement issued Friday, said this will force them to flee the camps and there will be more Rohingya who will fall into human traffickers' hands.
