Rohingya children, who crossed over from Myanmar into Bangladesh, wait for food handouts in Ukhiya in 2017.

Since December, Bangladesh has shifted 18,000 out of a planned 100,000 refugees to the low-lying silt island of Bhashan Char from the Cox’s Bazar region, where some 850,000 people live in squalid and cramped conditions. Monday’s protest involved up to 4,000 people, police said, and coincided with an inspection visit by officials from the UN refugee agency .

“They broke the glass on warehouses by throwing rocks. They came at the police… Their demand is they don’t want to live here.”
