Saudi Arabia
New York - Arab Today
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has stressed the need to alleviate the suffering of the Rohingya Muslim minority, calling on the international community and UN member states to stand against violations against them and to urge the government of Myanmar to respect its international obligations and commitments.
The Saudi Press Agency, SPA, reported that a statement delivered by the Organisation Affairs Officer of the Permanent Delegation of the Kingdom to the United Nations Faisal Al-Haqbani, during a UN session stated that Saudi Arabia was one of the first countries to intervene in the Rohingya Muslims crisis through the King Salman Humanitarian Relief and Humanitarian Centre, sending more than 100 tonnes of aid to the minority group in Bangladesh.
"Since 1948, my country has started to host them (Rohingya people) and now there are more than 300,000 living in the Kingdom," Al-Haqbani said.
"The Kingdom has also provided approximately US$66 million in support for Rohingya refugees over the last 10 years," he added, according to SPA.
