The UK has led the international response, including using our role at the UN Security Council to push for international accountability and long-term support for the Rohingya. The UK government is supporting Rohingya in Bangladesh, as well as pushing for improved conditions in Rakhine State in order to allow voluntary, safe and dignified returns, with UNHCR oversight. We have been one of the main donors to the international humanitarian joint response plan and we expect to remain a leading donor.
