22,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar to Bangladesh in a week: UN
Up to 22,000 ethnic Rohingya Muslims have fled from Myanmar's Rakhine State to Bangladesh in the past week, United Nations said on Monday. The exodus began after Myanmar's army launched search operations for insurgents who carried out attacks in October. Reportedly, at least 130 Rohingya Muslims, who are considered illegal immigrants, have been killed in the military campaign.
