Rohingya started leaving for Bangladesh after Myanmar security launched a crackdown on insurgents following an attack on the police posts in Rakhine State in which 12 servicemen were killed.
The Myanmar government claims the Rohingya are migrants from Bangladesh who occupied territory in Rakhine state.
Neighboring Bangladesh now shelters more than 700,000 Rohingya refugees.
