Rohingya refugee influx inspires Bangladeshi aid — and worry

FILE – In this Sept. 20, 2017 file photo, a Rohingya Muslim man, who crossed over from Myanmar into Bangladesh, builds a shelter for his family in Taiy Khali refugee camp, Bangladesh. The country was caught unprepared when some 500,000 began pouring across the border in late August to escape attacks by Myanmar soldiers and Buddhist mobs, a crisis the United Nations has described as “textbook ethnic cleansing.” Some in the low-lying delta nation are worried that the staggering influx of people, if allowed to stay, could push the country’s resources and economy to the brink.
