Painful Images Of Rohingya Refugees Who Have Fled Ethnic Cleansing

Trying To Survive

In December 2017, Pope Francis made a trip to Myanmar and Bangladesh. The Pope has previously called for an official investigation into the crisis. He also seemed to recognize that there are in fact atrocities going and said those who are responsible for the atrocities must be held accountable for their actions. In this photo, refugees walk a makeshift bamboo bridge at the Kutupalong refugee camp. The Pope gave a historic mass in the largely Buddhist country and said, “I know that many in Myanmar bear the wounds of violence, wounds both visible and invisible…We think that healing can come from anger and revenge. Yet the way of revenge is not the way of Jesus.”
