Supporting Rohingya refugees is one of the big challenges facing the world today. I’m grateful to UN staff and some of the refugees that I spoke to today for illuminating the scale of the challenge.

UK Human Rights Ambassador @ESandersFCDO visited the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar today to meet refugees and camp workers, and see UK funded projects. Seven years into the protracted crisis, the UK remains resolute in our commitment to support the Rohingya people.

The UK supports the Interim Government in Bangladesh in advancing sustainable reforms grounded in human rights. In Dhaka, this week I discussed how this will include justice and accountability, freedom of religion or belief, media freedom, gender equality and labour rights.

An honour to join the community of Torino di Sangro in commemorating the 2617 British and Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives defending this part of Italy’s Adriatic coast 80 years ago. Many were less than 30 years old. #LestWeForget @UKinItaly @UKDefenceItaly @CWGC
