Painful Images Of Rohingya Refugees Who Have Fled Ethnic Cleansing

Refugees Finding Their Way

The United Nations has referred to the ongoing situation as a “textbook ethnic cleansing.” Authorities within Myanmar are using what they refer to as “clearance operation” to remove the Rohingya Muslim people. During these operations villages are burned, women are raped, and people are murdered. Interestingly, Buddhist mobs, which have been largely considered to be a religion of peace, have a role in the operations. Hundreds of people have been murdered thus far with additional people dying while attempting to flee. Here a Rohingya refugee holds a child while waiting for food.
