US EditionNearly 1,50,000 Rohingya fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh in 18 months: United Nations refugee agency
BANGLADESH, JUL 11 – Nearly 150,000 Rohingya refugees have arrived in overcrowded Cox's Bazar camps since early 2024, straining resources and risking collapse of essential services, UNHCR said.
- On Friday, UNHCR reported nearly 150,000 Rohingya refugees arrived in Bangladesh over 18 months, marking the largest displacement since 2017.
- Renewed violence and targeted persecution in Rakhine State, driven by clashes between Myanmar's military junta and insurgent groups, have fueled the largest Rohingya exodus since 2017.
- By the end of June, 121,000 Rohingya arrivals had biometrically registered, with camps covering 24 sq km hosting nearly one million refugees, highlighting severe overcrowding.
- Without new funding, health services face disruption by September, cooking fuel runs out by December, and education for 230,000 children remains at imminent risk.
- The President of the UN General Assembly will host a September 2025 conference to address the Rohingya crisis, supported by a $255.5 million appeal for urgent humanitarian needs.
