Desperate living conditions and waterborne diseases are threatening more than 320,000 Rohingya children who have fled to Bangladesh since late August, says Unicef. “Many Rohingya refugee children in Bangladesh have witnessed atrocities in Myanmar no child should ever see, and all have suffered tremendous loss,” Unicef Executive Director Anthony Lake said in a statement yesterday.

Rape is being used as a weapon of war in the Rohingya crisis, with no woman safe from the risk of sexual attack as the Myanmarese nationals are driven out of its homeland, according to experts in the field and those caught up in the crisis.
