Amid a global refugee crisis that’s seen more than 22.5 million people flee countries like Syria and South Sudan because of civil war and famine, southern Bangladesh is poised to build the largest refugee camp in the world.

In recent months, more than 582,000 Rohingya refugees — a Muslim ethnic minority in Myanmar often described as “the most persecuted minority in the world” — have fled oppression and extreme violence in Myanmar’s northern Rakhine state. The resulting humanitarian crisis has worsened even more over the past few weeks.
