COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh (Reuters) -Bangladesh cannot mobilise additional resources for the 1.3 million Rohingya refugees living in the country, Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus said on Monday, urging the international community to find a sustainable solution to the crisis.

Nobel peace laureate Yunus, the de-facto prime minister of Bangladesh, also proposed seven action points to solve the crisis at a conference to mark the eighth anniversary of the exodus of the mostly Muslim minority from Myanmar’s western Rakhine state following a brutal crackdown by the military.
