Problem Statement

The brutal ethnic cleansing effort in Burma has driven about 1 million Rohingya refugees from their
homes, according to estimates from the UN as of February 2018. They have almost all settled into refugee
camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. That is putting a pressure on Bangladesh, which has taken in an
astounding number of refugees in only six months, resulting in incredibly crowded circumstances in the
camps. Bangladesh is a little country that is low lying, underdeveloped, and populated. Since then,
Bangladesh has failed to assemble the international diplomatic backing required to bring the situation to a
swift conclusion.

The Bangladeshi security apparatus is worried that ARSA would attempt to recruit within camps and that
it will use the camps as a platform for cross-border warfare. Despite the fact that the refugees have
received a lot of international humanitarian aid, neither the government nor the Bangladeshi residents of
the border region have been able to fully recover their financial losses. Formerly the primary tourist
attraction in Bangladesh, Cox's Bazar's beaches and coastal town are now overrun with international
charity workers.

In Bangladesh's Ukhia and Teknaf, where the Rohingya now outnumber locals two to one, the
demography have shifted as a result of the exodus. The world's biggest and densest refugee camp is
known as Kutupalong. 28 risk factors that endanger biodiversity and human security have been identified
in a recent environmental evaluation by the United Nations Development Program. Because to smoke
from firewood burnt by refugees and emissions from hundreds of trucks, jeeps, and vehicles transporting
people and commodities into the camps, air pollution in Ukhia and Tekfnaf has worsened.

The Rohingya refugee crisis has become one of major problem for not only Bangladesh but also the
whole sub-continental region and the issue must need to be resolved immediately for regional stability
and uphold Bangladesh robust economic growth. This paper tries to present some polices for Bangladesh
government.
