As the Rohingya Muslim refugee camps continue to spread in Bangladesh, the ethnic cleansing is apparently able to be seen from space. Here the Kutupalong camp is seen in October 2017. According to Planet, a satellite imaging company, the Kutupalong camp has grown exponentially within the short period of time between September 21, 2017 and November 10, 2017. Previously you were able to see trees and other vegetation, but that has been replaced by makeshift structures. Farfour of Planet says that the satellite images confirm the mass exodus from Myanmar. He further said it suggests that “the situation in Myanmar for the people fleeing is likely desperate and widespread to cause so many people to leave so quickly.”
