Bangladesh has reported that around eight thousand Rohingya Muslim refugees from Myanmar have entered the country in recent months. The conflict between Myanmar’s military junta and the Arakan Army has intensified especially in Rakhine state of Myanmar. According to Bangladeshi officials, the country cannot provide humanitarian shelter for any more refugees and there has been discussion to prevent further arrivals. On August 25, which marked the seven-year anniversary of the conflict that forced the Rohingya to flee to Myanmar, rallies were
held by tens of thousands in Bangladeshi refugee camps.

Now with millions of Rohingya refugees, Bangladesh calls for international aid to help with the humanitarian crisis, as Myanmar currently does not grant basic human rights to the Rohingya, and they are therefore unable to return home.
