Stowe School sends pupils to see Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh to 'open their eyes'

There are 32,000 registered Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh who are evacuating in two refugee camps in the southeastern part of Cox Bazar. AFP reported that in May 2015, an additional 300,000 unregistered Rohingya refugees live in Bangladesh. Most of it is near two public camps. According to Reuters, after the Rakhine State riot in 2012, an estimated 800,000 to 110,000 Rohingya were obliged to evacuate to the camp for refugees. An estimated 100,000 people ran away from refugee camps to escape systematic sexual violence and persecution in Myanmar.

There are two camps in the southeastern Bangladesh, Nayapala and Kutuparon, and 30,000 Rohingya fled from Myanmar. Outside of the camp, it is estimated that it is almost impossible for unregistered Rohingya refugees to live 200,000 people and to receive humanitarian assistance. Qutu Palan Camp is one of the largest refugee camps in the world and will expand the camp and will accommodate up to 800,000 Rohingya refugees. The Palestinian refugee camp was held between 1948 and 1968. 59 refugee camps were approved by UNRWA and accepted 1.5 million refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. These camps have the largest and oldest refugee population in the world. One of them was the Yalmuk camp in the suburbs of Damascus, where 500,000 Palestinian refugees once reside (approximately 18,000 in 2015). It was surrounded by the Bashar al-Assad regime in 2012 and attacked again by the Islamic state group in 2015.
