Inside the sprawling Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp, more than 700,000 men, women and children have found sanctuary from a brutal regime.
The Rohingya people, a Muslim minority in their home country of Myanmar, have come to the camp in overwhelming numbers fleeing violence. Makeshift shelters, made of bamboo poles, tarps and any other materials they can find, spread out across the valley in northern Bangladesh, stretching as far as you can see.
Finding clean water and handling sanitation for the city-sized camp remain constant concerns. Disease and other medical problems are persistent, but even occasional medical care is a luxury, and most don’t even get that.
