 The community of Karachi’s Rohingya

 The community of Karachi’s Rohingya comprises migrants from an earlier era of displacement dating back to the 1960s and ‘70s. In spite of decades in a foreign land,
they have stayed in touch with family back home, through mobile phones and social media.

But Nearly 300,000 Rohingya have fled to Bangladesh and 30,000 non-Muslim civilians have been displaced inside Myanmar after the military launched a counter-offensive
 Following attacks by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) insurgents on 30 police posts and an army base on Aug. 25.

Most of the people living in the slum called Arakanabad were born in Pakistan or fled violence in their homeland decades ago. It’s named for Arakan, which was what Rakhine used to be called.

 The Rohingya who live here largely work on fishing boats, or clean the catch brought by fishermen who set sail from the nearby Korangi Creek.

Most of them are not able to obtain Pakistani identity cards, which is essential for opening bank accounts, enrolling children in schools, using public hospitals, and even getting a job.

Why Are The Minority Rohingya Muslims Violeted In Barma

the Pakistan head of the Rohingya Solidarity Organization, Noor Hussain said,“There is no policy in Pakistan for the Rohingya,”
pointing out that the without state-issued identity cards the community cannot progress.Their sorrows know no bound.

Thousands of Rohingya families are crammed into the one-room cement brick houses that line the narrow streets of Arakanabad.

Children play amidst knee-high garbage, and crowd around to share slices of jello topped with sugar, or other sweetmeats sold by hawkers.

 Hussain said,“The community is living in extremely difficult circumstances, and our youth is being destroyed because they cannot get an education,”

Despite the poverty, the community raised around 1.5 million rupees ($15,000) over the Eid al-Adha holidays earlier this month to help refugees fleeing Rakhine.

“Our community is not a burden on Pakistan,” Hussain said.

“The government of Pakistan is making millions of dollars by exporting the fish our people catch,” he said, adding that giving citizenship rights to the
Rohingya would only benefit the country.

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has expressed his grief over the ongoing Rohingya crisis in Myanmar and urged the aggressors to follow the path of

Lord Buddha and end the violence.
