CNN released an exclusive report in November where they interviewed refugees about the atrocities they encountered while attempting to reach safety at the refugees’ camps in Bangladesh. One Rohingya woman named Mumtaz said, “They killed and killed and piled the bodies up high. It was like cut bamboo. In the pile there was someone’s neck, someone’s head, someone’s leg. I was able to come out, I don’t know how.” In this photo, Rohingya refugees attempt to cross the border from Myanmar into Bangladesh in order to flee the violence, they are confronted with a Bangladeshi border guard.
