Gambia offers to resettle all Rohingya boatpeople - Yahoo News

Gambia offers to resettle all Rohingya boatpeople - Yahoo News: ""The government of the Gambia notes with grave concern the inhumane condition of the Rohingya people of Myanmar -- especially those referred to as 'boatpeople' -- currently drifting in the seas off the coast of Malaysia and Indonesia," it said in a statement.

"As human beings, more so fellow Muslims, it is a sacred duty to help alleviate the untold hardships and sufferings fellow human beings are confronted with."

The statement appealed to the international community to send tents, bedding, household materials and medicine to help Muslim-majority Gambia set up "habitable camps with decent sanitary conditions"."
