Painful Images Of Rohingya Refugees Who Have Fled Ethnic Cleansing

The Cost Of War

As Rohingya Refugees attempt to flee into safety, some turn to paying smugglers to take through the water. However, the travel is dangerous and they are often piled onto makeshift wooden boats which are extremely unsafe. This has led to further deaths as the boats have been known to capsize. In this photo, a woman is seen cleaning the body of a young little boy who was killed after a boat capsized. Dozens more, including many children, were also killed in the boat. Many have sent their children alone in the hopes they will have a chance at a better life but survival in not guaranteed.
