Bangladesh agrees to give land to Rohingyas fleeing Myanmar
Bangladesh has agreed to provide land to shelter Rohingya Muslims fleeing the ongoing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has offered 2,000 acres of land "to build temporary shelters for the Rohingya newcomers," officials said. Over 3 lakh Rohingya refugees have crossed into Bangladesh since Myanmar's security forces began a crackdown on Rohingya militants last month.
