The United Nations will do all it can to help prevent food rations being cut for Rohingya refugees in camps in Bangladesh, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday during a visit to the world’s largest refugee settlement.

General António Guterres on Friday described humanitarian aid cuts by the United States and countries in Europe to Bangladesh, where thousands of Rohingya refugees are located, as "a crime.” Guterres was on a four-day visit to Bangladesh where he is assessing the plight of more than 1 million Rohingya refugees from Myanmar whose future remained uncertain over possible aid cuts soon.

The leader of the United Nations and the chief of Bangladesh’s interim government were joined by about 100,000 Rohingya refugees for iftar – the meal to break the fast at sundown during Ramadan – at the Ukhia camp in Cox’s Bazar on Friday.
