What is Rohingya Crisis?

Violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State has forced


hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes.

Clashes in Rakhine broke out in August 2017, after a


militant group known as the Arakan Rohingya
Salvation Army (ARSA) claimed responsibility.

More than 400,000 Rohingya people have fled for


their lives across the border into Bangladesh's Cox's
Bazar district.

As many as 15,000 people are crossing the border into


Bangladesh every day.
