The Rohingya crisis has entered a dangerous new phase. Nearly nine years after the mass expulsion of 2017, Bangladesh continues to shelter approximately one million Rohingya, while further arrivals have added to the pressure on Cox’s Bazar and surrounding communities. Humanitarian funding is declining, insecurity inside the camps is increasing, and conditions in Myanmar remain wholly unsuitable for safe, voluntary and dignified repatriation. The United Nations warns that Rohingya in both Myanmar and Bangladesh face shrinking protection and diminishing prospects for a durable solution.
