More than 600,000 Rohingya refugees have been forced to flee to Bangladesh following an offensive by Myanmar’s military. United Nations has called events as “a textbook example of ethnic cleansing”. Hundreds of refugees are known to have died while trying to escape while survivors keep arriving with horrifying memories. What the Rohingya refugees flee to is a different kind of suffering in sprawling makeshift camps rife with fears of malnutrition, cholera, and other diseases.
