As is very common in high conflict areas, as people flee oppression and violence they are often faced with other struggles. So often these include the issues of disease and malnutrition. Although humanitarian and aid organizations are attempting to minimize suffering, children are still disproportionately affected. In this photo, a very young Rohingya Muslim boy cries as he is weighed by an NGO (non-governmental organization) called Action Against Hunger. As the refugees are continuing to pour in fleeing from harm, undoubtedly more people and children will face similar issues.
