In late 2017, some 671,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar to Cox’s Bazar District in Bangladesh, where they joined 213,000 Rohingya who were already living there after having themselves fled earlier waves of violence. The Rohingya population now significantly outnumbers the host community in two areas of the district, prompting a recent study of how both the migrants and host community are faring in terms of employment, health, access to assistance, and general wellbeing.
