On August 25 last year, hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas started fleeing military operations in Myanmar’s Rakhine State and crossing the border to take shelter in Bangladesh. Several rounds of talks have been held for repatriation of the refugees. But so far, there is no visible progress.

World leaders’ failure to act has allowed the Myanmar security forces’ perpetrators of crimes against humanity to remain at large for a year after their murderous campaign against the Rohingya prompted an exodus of epic proportions, Amnesty International says.

Lunchtime was just over at Balukhali camp 8E. The household of Akhter Hujur officially has four members -- himself, his young wife, her sister and a tiny infant daughter -- but there is always one extra mouth to feed. That mouth belongs to a person with neither mother or father, nor family.

The refugee crisis in Bangladesh sparked by the mass exodus of people from Myanmar a year ago risks creating a “lost generation” of Rohingya children who lack the life skills they will need in future, Unicef has warned.

Aung San Suu Kyi's remark that pace of Rohingya return depends on Bangladesh is grossly wrong and reflects the lack of Myanmar's sincerity to a sustainable solution to the crisis, says international relations analysts.

The repatriation of the Rohingyas remains elusive even nine months after the signing of an agreement between Bangladesh and Myanmar.

One year since over 700,000 Rohingya refugees were forced to flee from Myanmar into Bangladesh, the denial of their legal status, coupled with unacceptable living conditions in haphazard makeshift camps, continues to trap refugees in a cycle of suffering and poor health, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says.

The Rohingya crisis steps into the first anniversary with no real progress in the repatriation drive by Bangladesh other than the continuation of dialogue with Myanmar though Rohingyas are still coming into Bangladesh due to the absence of conducive environment in Rakhine.

The UK calls on the international community to prioritise long-term support for the Rohingya people on the anniversary of the crisis, according to a press release of UK Department for International Development.

Rohingya refugee children who lack proper education in camps in Bangladesh could become a "lost generation", the United Nations says, a year after Myanmar's army began a crackdown that has forced more than 700,000 people to flee the country.

Though Myanmar says it is ready to take back the Rohingya, the continued outflow of refugees underlines the lack of progress in addressing the crisis, a year on from the start of the offensive on August 25, 2017. The Rohingya exodus has threatened Myanmar's tense transition to democracy and shattered the image of its leader, Nobel peace prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, outside the country.

International efforts are urgently needed to prevent over half a million Rohingya children from falling prey to despair and frustration in Cox's Bazar district as they are being denied the chance of a proper education, says Unicef.
