To date, more than 609,000 people have crossed the border, at a speed the world has not witnessed in decades. Coupled with the pre-existing refugee population there are now more than 821,000 people in Cox’s Bazar in need of humanitarian assistance; 55% of whom are children. Those who have fled speak of seeing both children and adults killed indiscriminately and women and girls targeted for brutal sexual violence. All are in desperate need of food, medical attention, appropriate shelter, basic hygiene items, and critical social services. In addition to the serious protection issues shared by all age groups (of which current statelessness is one of the most prominent), the most urgent child protection issues to be addressed are psychosocial distress, separation of children from their caregivers, child-headed households and child carers, gender-based violence (GBV) including high risks of rape, sexual assault and widespread child marriage, as well as the high risk of child labour and trafficking."

But, confusion over their political status continued to plague their lives. The Supreme Court of India delivered a judgment on 9th January 1996 calling upon the Indian Government to confer citizenship right to these Chakmas under Article 5 (1) (a) of the Citizenship Act of 1955. It was because of some proactive measures of the Election Commission of India; only 1497 Chakmas could register their names in the electoral roll and exercise their right to vote for the first time during the Assembly Election of 2004. In the 2009 Assembly Election, 1740 Chakmas were included in the state electoral list. However, the Chakmas are still living with statelessness situation due to non-implementing the judgment of the Supreme Court of India."
