More than 150 murders reported in Rohingya camps in Bangladesh since 2017

A Rohingya woman was shot dead at a refugee camp in Bangladesh’s southeastern Cox’s Bazar district, the 24th such killing this year.

Two more women – a Rohingya community leader named Monira Begum and her daughter Noor Fatema – were wounded in the shooting at the Nayapara refugee camp, officials said.

A group of some 15 assailants led by a Rohingya man targeted Monira’s house, according to Mohammad Jamal Pasha, a police official in Cox’s Bazar.
