Future Of Over 100,00 Newborns Causing Concern Among Rohingya In Bangladesh
Almost half of more than 1 million Rohingya living in congested refugee camps in Bangladesh are children growing up in subhuman conditions.
The stateless minority is now worried about the future of more than 100,000 newborn babies.
Violence, food shortages, lack of healthcare and access to basic education are some of the problems these children face in the camps.
According to Amnesty International, around 750,000 Rohingya fled a brutal military crackdown in Burma’s Rakhine state in August 2017.
The total number of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh is now more than 1.2 million.
According to a 2020 Save the Children report, nearly 76,000 babies were born in refugee camps in the three years since.
The number of babies is expected to have surpassed 100,000 based on the current growth rate.
