Archbishop Bejoy N. D'Cruze, OMI, of Dhaka, Bangladesh, warns of the rising death toll and immense suffering following floods affecting 5 million people, and tells Vatican News about the ongoing suffering of the Rohingya, who, despite their sorrow, are grateful to the Pope for his personal closeness. Pope at Audience: World must heed cries of migrants dying in deserts and seas"He has great love, and has shown his concern and solidarity with the Rohingyas.

In particular, Archbishop D'Cruze recognized the immense ongoing challenges for the Rohingya people, which Pope Francis named in Dhaka during an encounter with Rohingya refugees, and continues to bring to light in various appeals, and speaks of how to help the suffering minority in the impoverished nation, which seems to be shouldering their plight alone.

By today, I was informed that 27 people have died. Still, we need to estimate the amount of damage, but thousands of houses were damaged. Fields and vegetable cultivation were completely destroyed. Fish escaped from the ponds. Poultry farms were completely washed away.Many have already started the relief work. Many NGOs, including Caritas Bangladesh, are working, but the coordination, still is not well done. Many people are hungry and thirsty. In some places, no one has yet been reached.

Q: It's being described as the epicentre of one of the country's worst floods in living memory, and our prayers are certainly with you. What does the Pope's upcoming travel back to Asia mean to you and your people, also after the Pope had visited Bangladesh in 2017? Q: The international community warns that Bangladesh cannot continue to bear the burden of the great influx of Rohingya, and is calling for the help of others. Do you have an appeal for how to help the Rohingya people in your country?
