UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Filippo Grandi has told the UN Security Council that over 800,000 Myanmar Rohingya were probably in the "most acute" situation.

Grandi made the remarks about Rohingya refugees, as in comparison to 65 million to 66 million people forcibly displaced in the world, Xinhua news agency reported.

"We spoke about some of the most complex crisis in Africa especially South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo," he told reporters outside the council's chambers.

"There was much focus on the situation in Bangladesh -- Rohingya refugees coming from Myanmar -- and the way forward in that crisis which is probably the most acute at the moment."
