Today, RCUK - The Rohingya Centre remember the more than 8,300 victims of the Srebrenica genocide and stand in solidarity with the survivors and families who continue to grieve.

We remember the importance of truth, justice, and accountability, and the responsibility we all share to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated.

As a community that has endured genocide and persecution, the Rohingya people stand with the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina in remembering the victims and supporting the ongoing pursuit of justice, peace, and dignity for all.

We remember. We stand together. Never Again.

RCUK is deeply saddened by the deaths of eight Rohingya refugees, including children, following landslides triggered by heavy rainfall in Cox’s Bazar camps today.

Camp 15 (Zamtoli): 3 deaths

Camp 7 (Kutupalong): 1 child killed

Camp 11 (Balukhali): 4 deaths

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families affected. These were genocide survivors who should be protected in safety and dignity.

We urge urgent action to improve camp safety and prevent further loss of life.

At RCUK, we believe every Rohingya child deserves access to quality meaningful education and on World Refugee Day 2026, we were proud to see that belief brought to life in the camps of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh.

Through our funding and support, our partner RRILC delivered a meaningful observance during Refugee Week bringing students together through an Art Competition and a peaceful rally carrying messages of justice, dignity, and equal opportunity.

Their message to the world: "𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒖𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆. 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏." From Bradford to Cox's Bazar this is why we do what we do. Jazakallah Khayran to the RRILC team, teachers, guardians, and every student who took part.

A special thanks to the National Education Union (NEU) for standing with the Rohingya people and making this work possible.

UNHCR’s latest briefing highlights a continued global gap between refugee resettlement needs and available places, with 2.4 million refugees projected to require resettlement in 2027. Rohingya communities remain among the highest‑risk groups, facing acute protection challenges and limited alternatives in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and elsewhere.

RCUK supports UNHCR’s call to expand resettlement and safe pathways as part of a wider solutions approach. Safe and legal routes are essential to reduce dangerous journeys, prevent loss of life, and ensure that those most in need can access protection.

As a UK‑based Rohingya organisation, we remain committed to supporting resettled families through community‑based support and integration work. We also believe in investing in community‑led initiatives including education, skills development and identity recognition that help Rohingya build self‑reliance, dignity and justice. Addressing root causes in Rakhine/Arakan remains vital for any long‑term solution.

GENEVA – An urgent expansion of refugee resettlement is needed as new projections highlight a continued gap between global needs and available places, according to the latest Projected Global Resettlement Needs report by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.
