Rohingya Refugee Crisis

In August 2017, violence erupted in Rakhine State in Myanmar, targeting the Rohingya people, a stateless Muslim minority. More than half a million people fled to Bangladesh, triggering one of the fastest growing humanitarian crises in the world.

An estimated 693,000 Rohingya have been driven into Bangladesh (as of April 2018). Over half of them are children.
