Shocking figures. 348 Rohingya went missing or died in South-East Asian waters. This is a crisis of solidarity. We urge States in the region to make saving lives and safe disembarkation a priority and not let people die under their watch. https://t.co/tJtFELKn67 https://t.co/yEmB7P12Fb

For decades, Pakistan and its people have generously stepped up to support millions of Afghan refugees. Now, they need us.

States in the region need to urgently step up to save the lives of about 190 people in distress at sea. Beyond their responsibility to allow those adrift to disembark, in the name of humanity States must act swiftly to end this ordeal + prevent a tragedy. https://t.co/VVMaCYxoUp

The swift action of the local fishermen and Sri Lankan Navy has saved many Rohingya lives in distress. We urge all States in the region to follow and promptly act to prevent any further tragic loss of life at sea. https://t.co/aLPzDKCNmJ
