As the world’s fastest-developing refugee emergency intensifies, there are fears of escalating violence in Myanmar.<br /><br />An estimated 2,000 Muslim Rohingya refugees are arriving in Bangladesh daily, joining over half a million others who have made the journey.<br /><br />Cholera is a risk and aid agencies have warned of a malnutrition crisis.<br /><br />“We crossed the border the day before yesterday,” said newly-arrived refugee Mohammad Hossain, explaining that his group was brought to the Balukhali camp in the Cox’s Bazar district by the Bangladeshi army in a truck.<br /><br />“We don’t have any food, we are waiting… we are hungry.”<br /><br />We’re assisting Rohingya refugees with emergency aid focused on protection, shelter, water and sanitation: https://t.co/Use18r652w pic.twitter.com/i71OZdcv3K— UN Refugee Agency (@Refugees) 7 octobre 2017<br /><br />A sense of belonging is hard to find. <br /><br />Fellow refugee Noor Alam, at the Kutupalong camp, says his Rohingya people are being killed in Myanmar where they are treated as illegal Bengali migrants from Bangladesh. <br /><br />“But when we come to Bangladesh, these people are calling us Rohingya…. Where will we go? There is no place for us.”<br /><br />As Bangladesh struggles to cope with the influx, there are fears of an additional flare-up of violence in Myanmar where security forces responded to Rohingya militant attacks with a brutal crackdown. <br /><br />A one-month ceasefire declared by the insurgents to enable the delivery of aid in violence-racked Rakhine State will come to an end at midnight on Monday. <br /><br />Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) insurgents say they are ready to respond to any peace move by the Myanmar government.<br /><br />But when the ARSA announced the ceasefire from Sept. 10, a government spokesman said: “We have no policy to negotiate with terrorists”.<br /><br />60% of recent Rohingya refugee arrivals in Bangladesh are children.
