Rohingya refugees walk through Kanjopara near Cox's Bazar after crossing the border into Bangladesh. Makeshift settlements were quickly appearing and expanding along roadsides, and the city of Cox's Bazar -- built to accommodate only 500,000 -- was bursting at its seams. The UN has asked Bangladesh authorities to make more land available so they can build new relief camps. Some 300 boats from Myanmar reached Cox's Bazar on Wednesday alone, the International Organization for Migration said. Those who trek days through the jungle to cross the land border face other dangers, including land mines.
