Rohingya Refugees arrived in Bangladesh in the early 1990s to seek refuge from political, social and economic discrimination. Registered Refugees now reside in the Katapalong and Nyapara camps in Cox’s Bazaar. However, it is estimated that 200,000 undocumented Rohingyas live in Bangladesh in makeshift camps or among local villagers. In the two camps of Katapalong and Nyapara, a survey in early 2008 found that the percentage of households with unregistered persons was 8.3% and 12.5%, respectively.
