This is the Rohingya refugee camp called Balukhali, located near Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has been commended by various aid and humanitarian organizations who say the acceptance of the people has undoubtedly saved lives. However, the aid organizations have also pushed for the creation of a “safe zone” to where refugees can return. These organizations also say that safe zone must be internationally recognized in order to provide protection for the people, as they have long faced oppression and violence from authorities in the largely Buddhist majority country of Myanmar.
