Rohingya refugees go about their day outside their temporary shelters along a road in Kutupalong, Bangladesh, on Saturday. The group urged the government "to reciprocate this humanitarian pause by ceasing military offensive operations and participating in assisting the victims regardless of their ethnic or religious backgrounds." The latest round of violence erupted on Aug 25 when the militants launched coordinated attacks on police posts and an army post in the northern part of the state. According to the latest reports, 300,000 Rohingya could flee Myanmar due to the violence. On Wednesday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for urgent action to address the "root causes" of the violence in Rakhine.
