History

Historical Context

The Rohingya crisis intensified in 2017 when over 700,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar amid military violence, marking one of Asia's largest refugee exoduses since the Vietnam War. By 2021, approximately 1.3 million Rohingya were in overcrowded camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, facing dire conditions. The ongoing humanitarian crisis is worsened by the Arakan Army's control in Rakhine State, complicating repatriation efforts.
