Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh and Myanmar

Overview

The Rohingya refugee crisis, stemming from 2017 military operations in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, has entered its tenth year. Survivors of the initial violence, which included the destruction of villages like Tula Toli and the deaths of thousands, continue to recount atrocities committed by the Myanmar military.

As of late 2026, more than 1.2 million refugees reside in Bangladesh, primarily in Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan Char. The situation is marked by deteriorating humanitarian conditions caused by shrinking international aid and environmental risks, such as flooding and mudslides. While the Bangladeshi government seeks to maintain diplomatic pressure for safe repatriation, aid organizations warn the crisis is becoming a ‘forgotten one’ due to shifting global attention and reduced funding.
