Bangladesh Scrambles to Cope as Rohingya Refugee Crisis Enters Eighth Year Without Relief
Bangladesh says it has run out of resources for over 600,000 Rohingya refugees, eight years after they were forced to flee their homes in Myanmar due to persecution.
Bangladesh is running out of resources for the hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees it has been hosting since 2017, when over 700,000 were forced from their homes in Myanmar. The country's refugee camps are facing severe overcrowding and shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. Eight years on, many international leaders have moved on to other crises, leaving the Rohingya issue largely forgotten. Bangladesh is urging the international community to provide more support to address the dire humanitarian situation.
