Abstract

About one million Rohingya Muslim minority people fled from their home on 25 August 2017 due to the recent violence in the Rakhine State of Myanmar and entered Bangladesh, a neighboring country. Many of them were the vulnerable people with 58% refugees under 18 children, 67% female, and 9% infants below one year. This was a great humanitarian challenge for the Government of Bangladesh and the local community. The mass influx of refugees caused a major humanitarian emergency, and the majority were reliant on humanitarian assistance including shelter, food, healthcare, clean water, sanitation, education, nutrition, safety, and security. They were given accommodation, food, emergency aids, etc. upon arrival, and finally, 890,276 Rohingya refugees settled in 34 refugee camps in Cox's Bazar and Teknaf area. Many houses, schools, shops, hospitals, and other service centers were built day by day in the camp area. Children are getting vaccines for different diseases and are going to learning centers for education. Still, there are several challenges for better management.
