Cox’s Bazar: The number of Rohingya refugees who have fled to Bangladesh since violence broke out in Myanmar’s Rakhine state on August 25 has exceeded half a million, the United Nations said today.
The new figure of 501,800 — up from around 480,000 — was due mainly to the counting of refugees not previously included in the tally rather than a dramatic increase in arrivals.
