REUTERS/Sam JahanMuhammad Yunus, Chief Advisor of Bangladesh's interim government, gives his speech during stakeholders dialogue on the Rohingya situation, in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, Aug 25, 2025. REUTERS/Sam JahanBangladesh has no scope to allocate more resources for its 1.3 million Rohingya refugees, Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus said on Monday, urging the international community to find a sustainable solution to the crisis. Children make up half the 1.3 million Rohingya refugees now living in Bangladesh, most of whom fled a brutal 2017 military crackdown in Buddhist-majority Myanmar that UN investigators called a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing". In Bangladesh, the refugees live in crammed bamboo shelters amid dwindling aid, closed schools and little hope of return.
