[Correspondence] Rohingya in Bangladesh: an unfolding public health emergency

I am writing from Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, where a large number of Rohingya have taken refuge and where our organisation, Médecins Sans Frontières, has been providing emergency medical assistance. I am working as the medical emergency manager in Kutupolong, a makeshift settlement in the Cox's Bazar district, which borders Myanmar. Of the estimated 1·2 million people in the peninsula that connects with Myanmar, only 250 000 of them are local Bangladeshi. The rest are forcibly displaced Myanmar nationals, and refugees from prior to 1992, who have been fleeing here since the 1990s.
