Bangladesh transported more than 1,600 Rohingya refugees to a low-lying island in the first phase of a controversial planned relocation of 100,000 people.
Almost a million Rohingya – most of whom fled a military offensive in neighbouring Myanmar three years ago – live in squalid camps in southeastern Bangladesh.
