According to the latest UN figures, 507,000 Muslim #Rohingya have fled Burma’s (Myanmar) northwestern Rakhine state since the country’s military launched its brutal “clearance operation.” The military offensive was supposedly in response to attacks on police posts by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) on August 25.
Conditions in the refugee camps in Bangladesh are deteriorating. The latest influx is dramatically swelling the number of people needing shelter, food and basic amenities. Rohingyas have been fleeing Burma as a result of military operations going back to 2012.
