Fires, floods and food shortages: destitute homes worsen over 6 years for a stateless minority

On August 25, 2017, the Myanmar military launched attacks against the Rohingya minority in the country’s Western Rakhine state. Launched in response to the sporadic attacks coordinated by a shadowy Rohingya militant group, the massacre drove more than 740,000 civilians across the Naf River into Bangladesh. Since fleeing the threat of genocide, Rohingya refugees remain completely aid-dependent, neither legally recognised as citizens of Myanmar, the country that drove them out, nor legally considered as refugees by Bangladesh, the country that currently hosts them.
