UNHCR says Rohingya arrivals now at 290,000
COX’S BAZAR - Arab Today
The UN refugee agency says the number of Rohingya refugees who have fled Myanmar since 25th August is now estimated at roughly 290,000.
According to AP, UNHCR spokeswoman Vivian Tan says the number of people arriving continues to grow. She says with camps already "more than full," the new arrivals are setting up spontaneous settlements along roadsides or on any available patches of land.
There is an urgent need for more temporary shelters, Tan said, adding, "We are seeing the mushrooming of these very flimsy shelters that will not be able to house people for too long."
The UN has asked Bangladesh authorities to make more land available so they can build new relief camps, AP concluded.
