He also said the innocent people of Iraq remain the most vulnerable target in the war and the situation is "very near to the humanitarian catastrophe," according to the official Bangladesh News Agency.

Many people including women and children are killed and woundedand there is an acute shortage of foodstuffs and drinking water while the "threat of epidemics is looming," he added.

He said Russia has already set up a camp for refugees in compliance with the UN requirement.
