The Rohingya people are one of the most ill-treated and persecuted refugee groups
in the world, having lived in a realm of statelessness for over six generations,
and who are still doing so. In recent years, more than 500,000 Rohingyas fled
from Myanmar (Burma) to neighboring countries. This article addresses the
Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh, with special emphasis on the living
conditions of this vulnerable population. We reviewed several documents on
Rohingya refugees, visited a registered refugee camp (Teknaf), collected case
reports, and conducted a series of meetings with stakeholders in the Cox's Bazar
district of Bangladesh. A total of 33,131 registered Rohingya refugees are living
in two registered camps in Cox's Bazar, and up to 80,000 additional refugees are
housed in nearby makeshift camps. Overall, the living conditions of Rohingya
refugees inside the overcrowded camps remain dismal. Mental health is poor,
proper hygiene conditions are lacking, malnutrition is endemic, and
physical/sexual abuse is high. A concerted diplomatic effort involving Bangladesh
and Myanmar, and international mediators such as the Organization of Islamic
Countries and the United Nations, is urgently required to effectively address
this complex situation.
