Rohingyas must get the help they deserve

I am writing in reference to the resettlement proposal of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh to a remote island, as reported by the Guardian newspaper on February 2, 2017. I know that Bangladesh is not a rich country and that the responsibility of resettling the Rohingya must be shared by other countries as well. However, I hope that they are not forced to move to uninhabitable places and that the accounts of these refugees being turned away at the border are mere rumours.

We expect the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to work with the Bangladesh government to address this problem as soon as possible. May God help us all in the important work of looking after the needy.
