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 March 15, 2025, the United Nations reported nearly 150,000 Rohingya refugees have arrived in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, since early 2024.
- This influx follows ongoing targeted violence, persecution in Myanmar's Rakhine State, and escalating conflict forcing thousands to seek refuge.
- These recent arrivals add to nearly one million Rohingya already residing in densely packed camps covering an area of 24 square kilometers, placing immense pressure on available resources.
- UNHCR spokesperson Babar Baloch explained that they lack sufficient means to support both the newly arrived refugees and those who were already residing in the camps.
- UNHCR warned the humanitarian response faces collapse without urgent funding, as the 2024 appeal is only 35% funded amid worsening conditions.
