UN agencies have teams in Cox's Bazar where the Rohingyas are arriving and the 7 million U.S. dollars released from the UN emergency fund will allow the UN and its partners to help those in desperate need of aid.

The report added that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged Myanmar government to end the "vicious cycle of violence" and immediately reverse its longstanding policy and give Rohingya Muslims either nationality or legal status.
