Rohingya Refugees Flood Into Bangladesh
BALUKHALI, BANGLADESH- SEPTEMBER 17 Rahima Khatun, 30, stands next to her makeshift shelter in the overcrowded Balukhali camp September 17, 2017 in Balukhali, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Rahima was hiding in the forest, then walked four days to reach Bangladesh. Nearly 400,000 Rohingya refugees have fled into Bangladesh since late August during the outbreak of violence in the Rakhine state. Recent satellite images released by Amnesty International provided evidence that security forces were trying to push the minority Muslim group out of the country. Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi cancelled her trip to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, which begins next week, while criticism of her handling of the Rohingya crisis grows and her government has been accused of ethnic cleansing. According to reports, the Rohingya crisis has left at least 1,000 people dead, including children and infants. Dozens of Rohingya Muslims drowned when their Ill-equipped, overloaded boat capsized in rough waters. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)
