UN and Bangladesh sign deal to aid Rohingya relocated to island in the Bay of Bengal

In this Dec. 29, 2020, file photo, Rohingya refugees wait on naval ships to be transported to an isolated island in the Bay of Bengal, in Chittagong, Bangladesh.

The agreement came as a paradigm shift after the U.N. and humanitarian groups criticized the relocation, saying the island is regularly submerged by monsoon rains and was not fit for habitation.
