Who are the Rohingya?

The Rohingya are the biggest stateless community in the world meaning they aren't citizens of Myanmar or any country Without a nationality, they can't travel freely or find jobs They also struggle to access formal education Since the late 1970s, over a million Rohingya have fled violence in Myanmar in successive waves of displacement. The latest exodus began in August 2017 when violence broke out in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, driving more than 700,000 to seek refuge in Bangladesh. Most walked for days through jungles and mountains or braved dangerous sea journeys across the Bay of Bengal They arrived exhausted, hungry and sick – in need of international protection and humanitarian assistance Most of those who arrived sought shelter in and around the refugee camps of Kutupalong and Nayapara in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar district Some joined relatives but most came with nothing. New spontaneous settlements sprouted overnight The scale of the influx put pressure on the host community and already overstretched facilities and services. But the Bangladesh government responded generously throughout the crisis and local Bangladeshi people took in the new arrivals and spared no effort to help.
