The biggest refugee camp in the world is battling the onset of the monsoon rains. Humanitarian organisations on the ground and the Bangladeshi government are working hard to minimise the risks from landslides, flash floods, water born diseases and ultimately, loss of life.

    (FILES) This file photo taken on October 09, 2017 shows Rohingya refugees walking after crossing the Naf river from Myanmar into Bangladesh in Whaikhyang on October 9, 2017. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said November 22, 2017, that Myanmar's Rohingya population was being subjected to "ethnic cleansing", accusing the security forces of perpetrating "horrendous atrocities" against the Muslim minority. His comments, which come after Tillerson visited Myanmar last week, are the strongest condemnation yet by the United States of the military's crackdown against the Rohingya, which has triggered a major refugee crisis. / AFP PHOTO / FRED DUFOURFRED DUFOUR/AFP/Getty Images
