More than 500,000 Rohingya enter Bangladesh: UN

COX´S BAZAR, Bangladesh: The number of Rohingya refugees who have fled to Bangladesh since violence broke out in Myanmar´s Rakhine state on August 25 has exceeded half a million, the United Nations said on Thursday.

The new figure of 501,800 -- up from around 480,000 -- was due mainly to the counting of refugees not previously included in the tally rather than a dramatic increase in arrivals.
