The Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority fleeing Myanmar’s far western Rakhine State, have fled into Bangladesh by the hundreds of thousands, turning informal refugee camps there into a sprawling and desperate city.

What will it take to address the crisis? How is the international community responding? How are the Rohingya faring — and what is it like covering such a sudden human exodus?

The conversations here with correspondents for The New York Times in Southeast Asia, Ben C. Solomon and Hannah Beech, who were interviewed by Damien Cave, our Australia bureau chief, are an attempt to answer common questions and add context and insight to our Myanmar coverage.

The exchanges have been lightly edited for clarity, and to overcome technical challenges with video interviews in areas with weak internet connections.
