Project Intro:

Cox's Bazar is a district in the south-eastern part of Bangladesh. Introduction Cox´s Bazar is the most southern district of Bangladesh bordering Myanmar. The Rohingya refugees began fleeing into this area in large numbers since August 2017 following a brutal military campaign against Rohinga community in Rakhine state. As a result, the Rohingya refugee camp in Cox's Bazar is the largest camp of holding over 1.1000,000 refugees around the world now.
