We do not normally hold figures for the total number of Rohingya people living in third countries.However, inquiries carried out by our Missions suggest that there are between 450,000 and 500,000 Rohingyas living in Saudi Arabia, 11,000 in Malaysia and between 150,000 and 220,000 in Bangladesh. We have no overall figure for Rohingyas living in Pakistan, but there are an estimated 80,000 living in Karachi.There are no figures available for Thailand or the United Arab Emirates.
