UN: 123,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees have fled Myanmar
The UN refugee agency says 123,000 Rohingya Muslim refugees have fled military crackdown in Myanmar to Bangladesh since 25 August.
The UNHCR pleaded for assistance, saying it needed more land so it could set up new camps to accommodate refugees who were arriving hungry, traumatized and in need of medical assistance. The agency warned the massive influx of Rohingya refugees has pushed aid services in Bangladesh to the brink, with established camps already beyond capacity.
