750,000 members of the Rohingya Muslim minority fled violence and persecution by the Myanmar military after a brutal offensive was launched against them four years ago. 

Entire Rohingya communities throughout the Maungdaw region were decimated by fire. In 2017, nearly a million Rohingya joined an exodus of more than 200,000 in Bangladesh who had already fled previous violence. 

Now fires at their refugee camps, monsoon floods, cyclones and the COVID-19 pandemic have complicated the already immense challenges of displacement for the Rohingya, who now observe August 25 as their “Genocide Day” every year.
