WHAT'S IN THE NEW DEAL?

Bangladesh aims to start the repatriation process by January 23, and said it will complete the process within two years. Under the deal, it will establish five "transit camps" to process refugees into two reception centres in Myanmar. However, the plan has been greeted with scepticism by NGOs, who have said the deal does not address questions of safety, livelihoods and permanent resettlement. The deal also does not cover the estimated 200,000 Rohingya refugees who were living in Bangladesh prior to October 2016
