Nearly one million ethnic Rohingya Muslims from Rakhine State of Myanmar have crossed the border into Bangladesh to escape deadly persecution by military and hard-line Buddhists since 1970s.
The two bloodiest military crackdowns — October 2016 and August 2017 — forced the largest exodus of refugees, estimated more than 770,000. The beleaguered community started a new life in overcrowded and dilapidated refugee camps in Cox's Bazar of Bangladesh in relative peace and security amid adversities.
