After Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh camps delivered more than 200 babies in less than one month, Bangladesh said it would distribute birth control pills and contraceptives to motivate them to keep their family size small.
The comments came as United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) said midwives they deployed at makeshift Rohingya camps in southeastern Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar delivered at least 200 babies since the recent influx of refugees began on August 25.
Bangladesh will launch a birth control campaign among the Rohingya Muslims amid fears that the refugee population could rise sharply with the influx of the ethnic minority Myanmar nationals, a minister said on Thusday.
Plans are being chalked up to motivate the Rohingyas to keep their family size small alongside providing them with kits containing birth control pills and other contraceptives also to prevent outbreak of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), officials said.

These babies are lucky they will be called legal Bangladeshis unlike their illegal parents.
