Indonesian officials register hundreds of Rohingya refugees at an unused immigration building in Lhokseumawe city in Aceh province. They are part of the latest influx of Rohingya who arrived at Sabang island the day before. IMAGES
More than 200 Rohingya refugees were relocated from the beaches of a remote Indonesian island on Wednesday as authorities drive them in trucks and prepare them to be transported by ferry to a temporary shelter. More than 1,000 desperate and exhausted Rohingya have landed on the shores of Aceh province in the last week. IMAGES
More than 200 Rohingya refugees are huddled on the beaches of a remote Indonesian island after weeks adrift on a wooden boat, as authorities rejected locals' efforts to push the members of the persecuted Myanmar minority back to sea. IMAGES

Rohingya refugees hold "Genocide Remembrance Day" rallies across the huge network of squalid camps in Bangladesh where they live in dire conditions, marking five years since fleeing from a brutal military offensive in Myanmar. In August 2017 around 750,000 of the mostly Muslim minority streamed over the border from mostly Buddhist Myanmar from the onslaught, which is now the subject of a landmark genocide case at the UN's top court. Today there are nearly a million Rohingya, half of them under 18, in rickety huts in a network of camps in southeastern Bangladesh where the mud lanes regularly become rivers of sewage during monsoon rains.

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.
