The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority primarily from Myanmar's Rakhine State. Myanmar denies them citizenship, rendering most stateless and vulnerable.
They are fleeing systematic persecution, violence, and severe human rights abuses by the Myanmar military and local militias, which the UN has called ethnic cleansing.
The vast majority of Rohingya refugees have sought refuge in neighboring Bangladesh, particularly in sprawling camps like Cox's Bazar.
International efforts include providing humanitarian aid, advocating for safe and voluntary repatriation, seeking accountability for human rights violations, and supporting host countries like Bangladesh.
