I’m at the laundry washing the kids' clothes while reading about the Rohingya crisis. A source reports that the Japanese government has decided to provide the International Organization for Migration (IOM) with $2.7 million in assistance for the Rohingyas and host communities in Cox's Bazar. Some sources also indicate that Japan has offered to take in 1,000 Rohingyas. However, the Bangladeshi government has emphasized the need for a long-term solution. They noted that by the time the flight lands, another 1,000 Rohingya babies will have been born. While Bangladesh appreciates Japan’s gesture, they believe it is not a viable solution. The government asserts that Myanmar must take back its people, and Bangladesh will not admit any more individuals from Myanmar.
