Bangladesh will relocate over 100,000 Rohingya refugees to a remote islet which disappears into the sea every year due to soil erosion
Rohingya refugees, who landed on an isolated northern shore near the Malaysia-Thai border, huddle in a group in Kangar on March 1, 2019, following their detention by Malaysian immigration authorities.
To make the islet liveable, all facilities — including housing, power, communication, healthcare, storm surge protection, and cyclone shelter centres — have been provided, Rahman added. Under the government plan, he said, over 103,000 Rohingya out of over a million who fled Myanmar will be moved to Bhashan Char at an estimated cost of over $275.3 million , fully managed by Bangladesh's government.Until the Rohingya resettlement project began one year ago, the islet was apparently uninhabited, mostly used for cattle grazing and as a hub for pirates.
Around 1,350 acres of land — 432 acres occupied and 918 acres vacant — were proposed for the Rohingya rehabilitation project.The average elevation of Bhasan Char is 2.84 metres above mean sea level, according to Bangladesh Naval sources. According to Amnesty International, more than 750,000 Rohingya refugees, mostly women and children, have fled Myanmar and crossed into Bangladesh after Myanmar forces launched a crackdown on the minority Muslim community in August 2017.
