Rohingyas happy in camps as situation in Rakhine is much worse

The conditions of the Rohingya settlements in Cox’s Bazar’s Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas have improved significantly from what it was during the arrival of the refugees 19 months ago.

However, the camps are still far from ideal.

More than 700,000 Rohingya refugees crossed over to Bangladesh in 2017.

Visiting Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that Myanmar should take the responsibility and allow the Rohingya refugees to return as they are their citizens.

"We already have signed an agreement with the Myanmar government and they agreed to take them back. Unfortunately it did not happen. We could not implement it," said Hasina in an interview with Khaleej Times on Tuesday.
