A delegation of UN Security Council visiting Bangladesh promised today to work hard to resolve a crisis involving hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims who have fled to the country to escape military-led violence in neighboring Myanmar.

The diplomats, who visited the sprawling camps and border points where about 700,000 Rohingya have taken shelter, said their visit is an opportunity to see the situation first hand.

Russia's ambassador to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyansky, said he and his fellow team members would not look away from the crisis after their visit, though he warned that there are no simple solutions.

The diplomats will conclude their three-day visit to Bangladesh tomorrow, when they leave for Myanmar.

The diplomats, comprising representatives from the five permanent Security Council members and 10 non-permanent member states, talked to some 120 refugees, including rape victims.
