HUMANITARIAN WATCH 14: Rohingya - the Largest Stateless Community in the World

Description

In April 2026, around 250 Rohingya refugees and Bangladeshi nationals were reported missing after a boat departing from Teknaf capsized in the Andaman Sea. Only 9 people survived. In the first 4 months of 2026 more than 2,800 Rohingya had already attempted crossings, with most aiming at reaching Malaysia. In this Humanitarian Watch we explain what pushes displaced Rohingya to take this extremely dangerous journey, and how difficult life is for those that remain trapped inside Rakhine State, Myanmar and the sprawling refugee camps in Southern Bangladesh.
