The Rohingya are often described as "the world's most
persecuted minority".
After the military crackdown called “textbook example of ethnic
cleansing" in Myanmar in August 2017 where triggered an
exodus, more than 600,000 Rohingya people have been
escaping from the violence to Cox Bazaar in eastern
Bangladesh, it brings the total number of Rohingya refugees in
Bangladesh to over 1 million of which 60% are children.
Rohingya Muslims flee from death to a seemingly safe place;
now they are forced to live in a makeshift camp where, due to
sanitary conditions, they face various diseases. Insufficient
amount of food causes malnutrition especially affects children's
unhealthy and unbalanced mental and physical growth.
