They need everything - they need food, they need clean water, they need shelter, they need proper healthcare," he told reporters. He also said his office was providing "technical assistance" to help Bangladesh register the Rohingya, whom Myanmar considers to be "illegal" immigrants. It has "no plan for the time being" to grant refugee status to the newly arrived Rohingya, senior Bangladesh minister Amir Hossain Amu said on Sunday. "We want Rohingya to return to their own land," said Amu, who chairs a cabinet committee on national security.
