(Save the Children) – Since 25 August 2017, Bangladesh has seen an unprecedented arrival of Rohingya refugees fleeing violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine State. To date more than 600,000 people have crossed the border, at a speed of displacement the world has not witnessed since the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Those who have fled speak of seeing children targeted for brutal sexual violence, and killed and maimed indiscriminately. Countless people have experienced denial of humanitarian assistance. Others have told us of their children being abducted, or of living in fear of their children being taken away.
