The number of refugees has sharply increased in recent decades, reaching 37.8 million in 2022. Amidst this surge, host communities—locals residing in areas where refugee camps are situated—are also positively and negatively impacted by the refugee influxes. The negative impacts include competition over scarce resources and in the unskilled labor market. While the international media and aid organizations put the spotlight on assisting refugees, the challenges faced by host communities are frequently sidelined.

Delegates from Myanmar's government have visited Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh as part of a repatriation scheme. It's the second such visit in the past three months. Both countries want to send more than 1,000 Rohingya to Myanmar. Some refugees say they've been pressured into signing repatriation documents. About a million fled Myanmar in 2017 after a military crackdown. Al Jazeera's Tanvir Chowdhury spoke to Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, where few trust the repatriation plan. And live to talk with us is Nay San Lwin, a Burmese human rights activist and co-founder of the Free Rohingya coalition.

Our attention was
drawn to a recent news story on statements made by notable people and
international organizations on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of
the Rohingya catastrophe. Reiterating their assurances, they all
essentially stated that they will “continue efforts to find a durable
solution to solve the man-made humanitarian disaster.”
A deadly military campaign that began in Rakhine, Myanmar, on August 25, 2017, forced almost a million displaced Rohingyas to seek sanctuary in Bangladesh. Since then, thousands of babies have been born, bringing the total to more than 1.2 million.
The ethnic minority Rohingya Muslims suffer severe persecution in Myanmar. Following a deadly crackdown by the Burmese army in 2017, some 740,000 Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh, where they were settled in the southern town of Cox’s Bazar. Five years on, the town is home to the world’s largest and most dangerous refugee camp, with frequent floods, fires and gang wars. In December 2020, the Bangladeshi government decided to relocate some of the Rohingya refugees to a remote island in the Bay of Bengal. Our reporters Alban Alvarez and Mathilde Cusin managed to gain access to it.
