Most of them have crossed the border from Myanmar to Bangladesh and settled in the Kutupalong Refugee Camp in Cox’s Bazaar.
The Rohingya are a minority Muslim community that has seen religious prosecution in Myanmar for years. Many had already left over the past decades. However, in August 2017, the violence escalated. So, the Rohingya had to flee as their villages were burned down and their people were murdered. Today, Kutupalong is the largest refugee camp in the world.
1991
The camp began after thousands of Rohingyas fled from the Burmese military's Operation Pyi Thaya (Operation Clean up and Beautiful Nation)
2017
Extensive attacks upon Myanmar's Rohingya in Rakhine state, by Myanmar's military and local civilians, drove hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to flee Myanmar, into Bangladesh, swelling the camp
2018
Since 2018, Kutupalong refugee camp has been the world's largest refugee camp
2018
With flimsy shelters, built on steep hillsides, the camps are prone to flooding and landslides, particularly during monsoons.[23][24][25] In August, 2018, Human Rights Watch urged Bangladesh to relocate the camps to sturdier structures, on safer ground in Cox's Bazar.
2020
Kutupalong refugee camp and expansion site had a combined population of 598,545 and 187,423 families, with an area of just 13 square kilometres, while entire refugee camp have been 860,356.

Thank you Congressman @BradSherman for raising the situation of #Rohingya at the @HouseForeign hearing & @SecBlinken for reaffirming @StateDept's commitment to supporting the community. The #US should pursue actions to fully effectuate the genocide determination this year.
I touched on many issues w/@SecBlinken at today's @HouseForeign hearing including improving the passport/visa system, ensuring #Ethiopia fulfills its peace agreement obligations, U.S. strategy to counter #Putin/assist #Ukraine & how to help the #Rohingya & the people of #Artsakh.
The military junta plans to repatriate Rohingya from Bangladesh soon, but with ongoing persecution of Rohingya in Myanmar, the situation is precarious. 34 #Rohingya were detained in Sittwe by the military while attempting to escape the ongoing violation.

Human trafficking of #Rohingya is significantly increasing due to lack of jobs opportunities, food insufficiency and insecurity in the Refugee Camps, #Bangladesh.

Flames destroyed everything #Rohingya people had preserved but the fire could not affect their struggle for an honorable return to their home

Education is not just a privilege, it's a basic right. The lack of access to proper education is taking a toll on #Rohingya refugees, leading to devastating consequences. Let's prioritize education for all and especially for Rohingya who faced decades-long persecution in 🇲🇲.
Citizenship Law in 1982, which effectively excluded us from the list of recognized ethnic groups and stripped us of citizenship. This has made it difficult for #Rohingya to obtain any legal documents, including passports and travel documents, etc.
#ethniccleansing
Citizenship of Rohingya was stripped off since 1982. Since then, Rohingya are documentless, no passport, no travel documents, even no legal documents.
How can a Rohingya show travel documents? How can you arrest Rohingya for travel document which they can't own?
