In Bangladesh, their situation is very precarious. The Rohingya live in squalid conditions, are unwanted and are mostly un-registered as refugees which means they do not have access to basic commodities, humanitarian aid, healthcare, education and work. Out of the more than half a million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh now, less than 10% are officially registered as refugees. Latest arrivals from Myanmar are utterly traumatized, having no shelter and no psychological support. They dwell in newly self-made camps and form an endless community of mainly women alone with little children, having no news from family left behind or lost along the expulsion trail.
