Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees have protested over dire conditions in their Bangladesh camps, calling on the international community to help them return home to Myanmar. But the United Nations has warned the already dire human rights situation in Myanmar has plunged to a "new low", denouncing the "ever-worsening brutal abuse" of Rohingya people in the country.More than 1.2 million Rohingya refugees currently live in about 30 overcrowded camps in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar, the world's largest refugee settlement, after fleeing Myanmar.Children make up more than half the population of the camps.Save the Children's Golam Mostofa said "an entire generation of children is growing up in exile" with conditions deteriorating and food rationed."Yet instead of seeing progress towards safety, rights and a lasting solution, families are facing worsening hunger, fewer opportunities and deepening uncertainty about their future," he said.One in three refugees is expected to face "crisis" hunger levels or worse between September and December, according to Save the Children.Tens of thousands of Rohingyas refugees have protested against the dire conditions in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar, the world's largest refugee settlement.
