- Summary: Carrying whatever they can and those who are not well enough to travel, Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar made their way to Bangladesh, saying they were forced to leave their homes to escape violence in the northwestern Rakhine state. As hundreds of Rohingya refugees continued to make their way to makeshift camps, those who had arrived earlier in the city of Cox's Bazar were scrambling for food and water. Aid agencies and the Bangladeshi authorities battled to keep Rohingya refugees arriving from Myanmar fed and sheltered as their numbers continued to grow. Temporary camps sprung up on muddy hillsides in Cox's Bazar, with long queues forming for food, water and clothing. The United Nations said more help would be needed to counter the crisis COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH (FILE - AUGUST 30, 2017) (REUTERS) VARIOUS OF REFUGEES ARRIVING WALKING ALONG MUD TRACKS PEOPLE SITTING ON GROUND AND EATING PERSON CLEARING VEGETATION AT REFUGEE CAMP COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH (FILE - AUGUST 27, 2017) (REUTERS) BANGLADESHI WOMEN WATCH ROHINGYA REFUGEES FROM MYANMAR AT THE CAMP ROHINGYA TAKING SHELTER UNDER MAKESHIFT TENTS VARIOUS OF BANGLADESHI BORDER GUARD POST NEAR THE BORDER / AUDIO OF EXPLOSION NEAR COX'S BAZAR BANGLADESH- MYANMAR BORDER (FILE - AUGUST 29, 2017) (REUTERS) YOUNG ROHINGYA PERSON CARRYING BELONGINGS ON HIS HEAD ELDERLY ROHINGYA MAN CARRYING PERSONAL BELONGINGS ROHINGYAS GATHERED ON RIVERBANK ROHINGYA WOMAN CARRYING BELONGINGS ON HER HEAD ROHINGYAS GATHERED ON RIVERBANK CHILDREN BATHING IN RIVER VARIOUS OF WOMEN SITTING / WOMAN WITH FACE COVERED COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH (FILE - SEPTEMBER 5, 2017) (REUTERS) ROHINGYA PEOPLE ARRIVING BY BOAT IN BAY OF BENGAL ELDERLY MAN BEING CARRIED BY HIS SON TO SHORE CHILDREN ON SHORE MAN CARRYING WOMAN ELDERLY WOMAN LYING ON THE SHORE / CHILD LOOKING ON ROHINGYAS WALKING TO SHORE VARIOUS OF ROHINGYAS WALKING TOWARDS THE CAMP
