101 meets Rohingya refugees dwelling in exile on the distant Bangladeshi island of Bhashan Char.
Bangladesh is residence to the world’s largest refugee camp, which hosted greater than one million Rohingya refugees fleeing brutal crackdown by Myanmar’s navy in 2017.
5 years later, the camp is beset by overcrowding, substandard circumstances and crime.
To ease these pressures, authorities have despatched greater than 23,000 refugees to a distant island, the place they plan to ultimately home 100,000.
However the Rohingya are unable to depart, prompting rights teams to explain it as an island jail, tormented by cyclones and missing sufficient healthcare, jobs and schooling.
