The Rohingya Crisis is not new.<\/h3>\n<p>Conflict between the Myanmar government and the Rohingya Muslim community can be traced back to the 1970s. Conflict and discrimination in Myanmar date back even further to its time under British colonial rule until 1948. Colonialism caused a series of conflicts in Myanmar, leaving the Rohingya people in a stateless category where they could not enjoy basic human rights such as education, freedom of movement, or marriage. <\/p>\n<p>Conditions in Myanmar\u2019s Rakhine state, a place many Rohingya called home for generations, had already driven thousands of Muslim Rohingya from their lives and communities in the predominantly Buddhist country before the 2017 conflict.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/backgrounder\/rohingya-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Source: Council on Foreign Relations<\/em><\/a><\/small><\/em><\/a> <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/rohingya-refugee-relief-fund\/?rf=learn_rohingya_fast_facts\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\nYou can help meet urgent needs with a donation to GlobalGiving\u2019s Rohingya Refugee Relief Fund.

More than 1 million people have been forced from their homes.<\/h3>\n<p>1.1 million Rohingya people previously called Myanmar&#8217;s Rakhine state home. Rakhine&#8217;s lush and hilly landscape runs along west Myanmar and the Bangladesh border. Although many Rohingya lived and worked on this land for generations, the Myanmar government continues to insist that all Rohingya are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. The state refuses to recognize them as citizens, effectively rendering most of them stateless.<\/p>\n<p>More than 980,000 Rohingya people escaped Myanmar&#8217;s borders to seek sanctuary in Bangladesh and neighboring countries since the conflict started in 2017. But the perilous journeys to safety didn&#8217;t halt in 2017. In fact, 2023 was the deadliest year for Rohingya feeling by sea.
