An estimated 735,000 Rohingya have fled into Bangladesh since August 2017. Around 128,000 internally displaced people remain in crowded camps in central Rakhine since 2012. Although an estimated 250,000-300,000 Rohingya remain in northern Rakhine it is unclear how many are displaced due to lack of humanitarian access. Numbers are not available for Rohingya who have fled to neighbouring countries since August 2017.
