Has the world forgotten about the plight of the Rohingya? | Inside Story

It’s been eight years since more than 700,000 Rohingya were forced from their homes in Myanmar, facing
a campaign of mass violence, arson and sexual violence at the hands of the military.
The Muslim-minority Rohingya fled from Rakhine State in the country's west, into neighbouring Bangladesh.
It’s where an estimated one-and-a-half million Rohingya live today – in the world’s largest refugee camp.
But, Bangladesh and aid agencies say the nearly decade-long humanitarian operation is simply unsustainable.
They’re warning that severe funding shortfalls could push the crisis to breaking point.
So, what’s hampering efforts to repatriate more than a million refugees?
