COX'S BAZAR, Bangladesh -- The number of Rohingya Muslims who have fled persecution in western Myanmar's Rakhine state and taken refuge in neighboring Bangladesh has swollen to over 620,000.
Members of an ethnic and religious minority in Myanmar, the refugees saw their houses torched and their relatives and neighbors killed, mutilated, and raped. They now face another struggle in the overcrowded and desperate refugee camps around Cox's Bazar in southeastern Bangladesh.
