The
Rohingya genocide is a series of ongoing persecutions and killings of the
Muslim Rohingya people by the
military of Myanmar. The genocide has consisted of two phases
[2][3] to date: the first was a military crackdown that occurred from October 2016 to January 2017, and the second has been occurring since August 2017.
[4] The crisis forced over a million Rohingya to flee to other countries. Most fled to
Bangladesh,
resulting in the creation of the world's largest refugee camp,[3][5][6][7] while others escaped to
India,
Thailand,
Malaysia, and other parts of
South and
Southeast Asia, where they continue to face persecution. Many other countries consider these events
ethnic cleansing.

Kutupalong refugee camp (
Bengali: কুতুপালং শরণার্থী শিবির) is the world's largest
refugee camp.
[2][3][4] It is located in
Ukhia,
Cox's Bazar,
Bangladesh, and is inhabited mostly by
Rohingyarefugees who fled from
ethnic and religious persecution in neighboring
Myanmar.
[5][6] It is one of two government-run refugee camps in Cox's Bazar, the other being the
Nayapara refugee camp.
However, despite improvements in child nutrition, it found that a third of the children were "chronically undernourished" (and a third of those "acutely" so), owing partly to inadequate nutrition during pregnancy, the "monotonous diets", and inadequate "hygiene conditions in the camps."

However, in December 2019, the government banned cash aid in the camps, to reduce cash-for-work opportunities—eliminating a rare source of potential income, particularly for women refugees, who had particularly little economic opportunity.
[90][88]
In the October 2018 IFPRI survey, children in the camps were not allowed schooling
[89] (a situation that authorities have pledged to improve),
[91][88]and no training was available to adults, limiting their future prospects.
[89][92][88]
The researchers warned that the conditions, if not improved, could turn the camps into sites of "hopelessness, anger or even violence"
[89]—a concern echoed by human rights advocates
[92] and Rohingya refugees, themselves.

Western hypocrisy? When are your Saudi Arabian brothers going to stop smacking around their slaves for long enough to aid their Muslim brothers in Palestine?
When is the Islamic world going to unite to defeat the great Satan?
