United Nations and Bangladesh have reached an agreement to facilitate the relocation of one hundred thousand Rohingya from overcrowded Cox’s Bazar refugee camp.

Under the agreement, the UN will send its first mission next week to conduct technical assessment on Bhasan Charthe Rohingya relocation site on a remote Bangladeshi island.

Bangladesh is hosting some one point two million Rohingya refugees at makeshift camps in Cox’s Bazar, which is considered the world’s largest refugee settlement.
