Rohingya Crisis
Almost one million Rohingya (an ethnic Muslim community from Myanmar) were forced from their home due to ongoing persecution and military attacks, and have been living in overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, since 2017.
Over 750,000 people fled from their homes to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. There are now almost 1 million Rohingya living in the camps.
