Attacks by militants on Myanmar police posts and an army base on August 25 prompted a military counter-offensive that triggered an exodus of Rohingya to Bangladesh.
It's added to the hundreds of thousands already there from previous bouts of conflict.
According to the latest estimate by the United Nations, about 164,000 people have arrived in Bangladesh following last month's violence, putting huge strain on humanitarian agencies' operations.
Although they managed to escape the violence in Myanmar, they now face a continuous struggle for food, with limited resources being distributed by both local and international agencies.
Vivian Tan is with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
"The agencies that are out there are providing as much as they can, such as high energy biscuits, hot meals. But we certainly need more resources. Based on what we already have on the ground, that's not enough. So we will be mobilising more resources. We will have to work closely with the Bangladeshi authorities to accomplish this."
And as this refugee, known as Rahimula, says it can't happen fast enough.
"As I got the information of food distribution, I ran as all of us were hungry. I managed to get just one packet of food and all eight of us shared it."
Thousands of Rohingya remaining in the north-western state of Rakhine have been left without shelter or food, and many are still trying to cross mountains, dense bush and rice fields to reach Bangladesh.
The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) declared a month-long unilateral ceasefire, starting on Sunday, so that aid could reach these people.
While there has been no formal response from the military or government of Buddhist-majority Myanmar, a spokesman for Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi took to social media declaring "we have no policy to negotiate with terrorists."
Myanmar says its forces are fighting a legitimate campaign against ARSA, which it has declared a terrorist organisation and blames for the attacks on them and for burning homes and civilian deaths.
Thousands of people the world over have taken to the streets to demonstrate their support for the displaced Rohingya.
"There is no food, no healthcare, no shelter for them, children are dying day by day. No way! It's been going on for two weeks now."
Protesters gathered outside Myanmar's Embassy in London holding signs reading 'stop burning of Rohingya villages' and 'stop killing Muslims.'
"What happened in Myanmar is against humanity. It's not only against Muslims, (it is) against humanity."
"I've chosen to attend the demonstration in support of the innocent people being killed in Burma unjustifiably and we all need to play a part in stopping this genocide."
There were similar sentiments in Pakistan, where thousands rallied in Karachi to protest against Myanmar's treatment of its Rohingya Muslim minority.
Protesters marched nearly half a kilometre in a demonstration organised by the country's major Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami.
Representatives of the minority Hindu, Christian and Sikh populations also joined the rally.
Banners read 'Muslims break silence, help oppressed Rohingya' and 'save Rohingya Muslims.'
The head of Karachi's Jamaat-E-Islami, Naeem Ur-Rehman, says it's critical the world speaks out.
"The women, men, elderly, young and children are standing here to express solidarity with Burma's Rohingya Muslims whose children are being murdered, their organs are being mutilated, they are being drowned, they are having fire thrown upon them and being burnt to death. Unfortunately the world's conscience is silent."
