Painful Images Of Rohingya Refugees Who Have Fled Ethnic Cleansing

The Exhaustion Of Survival

In November, after seemingly months of waiting, the United Secretary of State Rex Tillerson finally issued a statement acknowledging the ongoing humanitarian crisis after visiting the Myanmar area. He said, “What we know occurred in Rakhine state … has a number of characteristics of crimes against humanity. Whether it meets all the criteria of ethnic cleansing we continue to determine ourselves.” He further stated, “No provocation can justify the horrendous atrocities that have ensued.” This photo depicts an exhausted Rohingya refugee woman as she is helped from a boat arriving on the Bangladesh side of the Naf River.
