Rohingya refugees in
Bangladesh refer to the refugees from Myanmar living in Bangladesh. An
estimated 8,50,000 to 9,50,000 Rohingya people have fled to Bangladesh since 25
August 2017, to avoid ethnic and religious persecution by Myanmar's security
forces. There are more 300,000 Rohingyas living in Bangladesh who fled in
earlier violence from the Burmese government over the last three decades.
Officially, Myanmar's government does not recognize the Rohingya as lawful
citizens. The government claims they were brought to Rakhine from Bangladesh
during the time when Myanmar was a British colony, and the government says they
are living in Myanmar illegally. The refugees who are living in Bangladesh are
suffering from many humanitarian problems. They suffer from food, shelter,
water and sanitation problems. Women and children are the worst sufferers. They
have no scope to take a bath. For this they are becoming sick and getting
affected by diseases. Now The Government of Bangladesh (GOB) is working closely
with IOM and other agencies to establish a new
2,000 acre site. Site planners and engineers are working on access roads and
layout of this large site to allow provision of services. Until then, services
and assistance are still required in Rohingya's villages throughout Cox's bazar.
