Crisis of Rohingya Refugees
Amidst all the misery, the children of the refugee Rohingya community still manage to find their source of joy and laughter. Life goes on. Kutupalong, Bangladesh, 21.02.17 . The Rohingya Muslim refugees of Bangladesh are originally inhabitants of the Arakan province of Myanmar. However, when citizenship of Myanmar was denied in the 1990s, and torture by military and Buddhist extremist forces increased, the community was forced to take refuge in the makeshift camps of Bangladesh. More than a million Rohingyas are today living without basic amenities in the Government camps like Kutupalong. The future is equally stark as the Bangladesh Govt plans to relocate the people to distant islands of Thengar Char, where even communication is yet to be developed. Such appalling is the condition that the UN claims the Rohingyas to be one of the most persecuted communities in the world. (Photo by Sushavan Nandy/NurPhoto)
