Rohingya esperan oportunidad de entrar a Bangladesh

Around 2,000 Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in Myanmar are stranded at the Bangladesh border, exhausted and hungry. Many, including children, walked for up to 10 days, facing repeated assaults by Myanmar soldiers. Since August 25, over 600,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar due to security operations against them, following attacks by Muslim insurgents. The persecution has led to the burning of Rohingya villages and reports of shootings and rapes. Two months into the conflict, Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi visited the affected Rakhine region, facing international criticism for her handling of the crisis, which the UN has labeled ethnic cleansing.
