By last night Bangladesh border guards reported that over 6,800 refugees had passed through Anjuman Para border village in Cox’s Bazar district. The most vulnerable among the new arrivals are bussed from the border to a transit centre near Kutupalong camp. At the centre, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and its partners provide food, water, medical checks and temporary shelter. Other new arrivals walk to Kutupalong refugee camp, where they spend the night in existing structures and buildings. UNHCR hopes for timely and generous donor support at the pledging conference for Rohingya refugee crisis on October 23 in Geneva.
