Rohingya flee to Bangladesh despite repatriation deal
Shares
Rohingya refugees are continuing to flee from Myanmar into Bangladesh even after the two countries said they will begin repatriating members of the minority ethnic group next week.
A Bangladesh official said in Dhaka on Friday that more than 650,000 Rohingya Muslims poured into Bangladesh after Myanmar's military launched a brutal crackdown against them in August last year.
Myanmar and Bangladesh signed an agreement in November on repatriating Rohingya refugees.
