> Hundreds of Rohingya refugees gathered in Cox’s Bazar on Monday, demanding justice and the right to return home nine years after Myanmar’s crackdown forced more than 700,000 people across the border. Nearly 1.2 million now remain in Bangladesh’s camps, where declining international aid is worsening conditions; refugees also face deep aid cuts in Bangladesh and forced evictions in Malaysia and India.
