By early October 2022, the international community continues to work in close cooperation with the Government of Bangladesh (GoB), where they together provide assistance to over 880,000 Rohingya living in Cox’s Bazar District, Bangladesh, together with over 440,000 local host Bangladeshis. The majority of the Rohingya live in 34 formally established camps in extremely congested conditions. The humanitarian process is complicated by a number of other factors, these including the stalled repatriation process back to Myanmar (exacerbated by the early February 2021 military coup in the latter country); planned movement of some refugees by the Government of Bangladesh to Bhasan Char island in the Bay of Bengal; and declining international funding support. TorqAid produces an occasional Summary Sheet (latest Oct 2022) of ‘Understanding the Rohingya Crisis’ (see below) which highlights key progress on this complex humanitarian operation.
