Bangladeshi authorities set Rohingya refugees on the final leg of their journey to an allegedly dangerous island, in the first phase of a controversial planned relocation of 100,000 people. Dhaka eventually wants to move 100,000 of the refugees to Bhashan Char, a low-lying silt island that critics say is prone to flooding and in the path of cyclones that frequently wreak havoc in the region.

Bangladesh transports more than 1,600 Rohingya refugees to a low-lying island, in the first phase of a controversial planned relocation of 100,000 refugees to Bhashan Char, a silt island that critics say is prone to flooding and in the path of cyclones that frequently wreak havoc in the region. Almost a million Rohingya - most of whom fled a military offensive in neighbouring Myanmar in 2017 - live in squalid camps in south-eastern Bangladesh. Any return to Myanmar appears unlikely for now.
