As of 31 December 2025, a total of 1,177,962 displaced people1 live in 33 overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan char Island (where 34,498 people have been relocated since 2021) with density reaching 47,000 people/km among the highest globally. Displaced people remain almost entirely dependent on humanitarian aid due to restrictions on movement, employment, and provision of robust shelters or community structures. There are currently no durable solutions to the protracted displacement in sight and continued uncertainty surrounding possible repatriation. According to the Joint Government of Bangladesh – UNHCR Population Dashboard as of December 2025, while 51.5% of the population is female and 48.5% male, 43% comprises the largest adult group (age 18–59).
From the very onset of the crisis, the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) has been providing life-saving, protective, and dignified humanitarian assistance for the Rohingya camps and the surrounding host communities through its Population Movement Operation (PMO). Currently, the PMO activities are being implemented with the financial and technical support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and 8 Partner National Societies (PNS).
