Rohingya refugees packed on boat by Bangladesh to remote island

Description

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.
