Tuesday, August 25, 2026
Over nine years after the initial displacement, approximately 900,000 Rohingya remain in camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, according to UN figures.

A generation of Rohingya children born in the camps have completed primary school with limited access to secondary education and employment opportunities in Bangladesh.
