  KUTUPALONG, Bangladesh — A massive influx of Rohingya refugees fleeing recent violence in Myanmar has pushed aid services in Bangladesh to the brink, with established camps already beyond capacity, aid workers said Tuesday.
  A total of 123,000 refugees have fled western Myanmar since Aug. 25, the U.N. refugee agency said.
  The agency was pleading for assistance, saying it needed more land to be made available so it could set up new camps to accommodate the massive influx of refugees arriving hungry, traumatized and in need of medical assistance.
  Many were arriving with stories of their homes being set aflame and Myanmar soldiers firing indiscriminately around their villages in Rakhine state.
  But aid agencies said there was an urgent need for emergency shelters and medical aid as more refuges continue to arrive.
  The new refugee estimate Tuesday was the result of aid workers conducting new more accurate counts that revised Monday's estimates up from 87,000, Tan said.
