At least 27 Rohingya refugees have been missing after their boat sank during an attempt to escape a Bangladeshi island camp criticised by human rights groups, officials said.

Nearly 20,000 Rohingya have been relocated to Bhasan Char island, which takes the full force of cyclones that roar across the Bay of Bengal each year.
