This includes food, water, shelter, and
medicine. We cannot allow this humanitarian catastrophe to escalate

United States and our allies must support the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees and the Bangladeshi Government's effort to identify all
Rohingya who have arrived. Given the Burmese Government's reluctance to acknowledge Rohingya as
Burmese citizens, leaving them stateless, identification by the United
States would assist in repatriation by defining who originates from
Rakhine State. The Rohingya have suffered violence and forced displacement for
decades.
