In Cox's Bazar, a humanitarian crisis persists nearly nine years after a large influx of displaced people from Myanmar. The area remains one of the most underfunded and protracted crises globally. As of June 2026, approximately 1,200,171 displaced individuals reside in overcrowded camps.

The density of people in these camps is extremely high, reaching 47,000 people per square kilometer. Many have been relocated to Bhasan Char Island since 2021. Further details on the situation and humanitarian efforts can be found through the Population Movement Operation update.
