Violence in Myanmar prompted 370,000 Rohingya people to flee to Bangladesh since August 25, up from a previous estimate of 313,000.
The UN International Organization for Migration revealed the information on Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com quoting Reuters.
"The system is clearly at full stretch and needs all the support it can get," IOM chief spokesman Leonard Doyle said. He declined to say how big he thought the exodus could get.
"Clearly the estimates have been bypassed several times over," he told a briefing in Geneva. "I’m reluctant to give a number but obviously people fear that it could go much higher."
