Rohingya refugees 'drained' by trauma says U.N. refugee chief
Filippo Grandi
“I found this was a population that had almost no response. Very passive ” said  Filippo Grandi  the U.N. high commissioner for refugees   describing  his  visit late in September to camps where the refugees were staying.
“You almost felt there was nothing left and that everything had been drained by this ”  he  told Reuters in an interview in  his  first visit to the South Korean capital.
 He  saw the lassitude as a symptom of trauma   he  added.
