Abstract

The forced displacement of the Rohingya population has a historical root since the late 1970s. Approximately 200,000 Rohingya were displaced to neighbouring Bangladesh in 1978, and about 260,000 in 1991-92. [1] The recent displacement of 400,000-420,000 Rohingya, of which about 240,000 were children, made it by far the largest displacement of Rohingya population. [2] The total Rohingya population living in Myanmar-bordered-Cox’s Bazar peninsula has been estimated to be about 950,000. [3]
