Tens of thousands of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh mark the eighth anniversary of their forced exodus from Myanmar with a mass march through the world's largest refugee camp. The demonstration highlights their ongoing plight and desire to return home, even as they face persecution and dwindling international support. With an estimated 1.5 million people now residing in the camps, Bangladesh's interim leader warns that the country can no longer bear this burden alone. As international donors gather to address the forgotten needs of the Rohingya, the refugees themselves continue to call for justice and repatriation. However, with a 60 percent shortfall in funding from international donors this year and schools in the camps closing due to lack of resources, the future remains uncertain for this displaced community.
