“The international community should stand beside the Rohingya people, not only for humanitarian reasons, but for justice,” Queen Rania said after her visit to the site on Monday. Over half a million Rohingyas have fled across the border into Bangladesh since the Myanmar military began a crackdown in Rakhine state on Aug 25. She called upon the world to speak out against the ‘ethnic cleansing’ of the Rohingyas. She was then shown around the Kutupalang refugee camp, spoke to some of the Rohingyas and surveyed the work of the international development organisations. “Ninety-five percent of the Rohingyas here have difficulty meeting their basic needs,” Queen Rania said.
