Abstract

This paper tries to identify the risk acceptance of humanitarian crisis response associated with the Rohingya influx into Bangladesh. Myanmar government's oppression at Rakhine state triggered Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh to save their lives. While Bangladesh is a densely populated small country, she welcomed Rohingyas considering the humanitarian ground. This study analyzed journal articles, situation reports of different agencies and media contents on Rohingya issues, and conducted interviews of Rohingyas, host community, and crisis responders. By accepting risk, Bangladesh is responding to the Rohingya crisis which has saved humanity; however, it created conflicting dynamics, increased population, leading to environmental degradation and creating health risks. This is also challenging national security and impacting reversely on the economy, food security, employment, and tourism. For the betterment of the region, it is necessary to solve the problem in a peaceful way through bi-lateral and multilateral dialogue.
