Photo Essay: Rohingyas Flee From Myanmar

Last month, the United Nations' top human-rights official called Myanmar's ongoing military campaign against its Rohingya Muslim minority a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing.” Since August, nearly half of the country's 1.1 million Rohingya have fled into neighboring Bangladesh in the face of attacks by Myanmar's military and Buddhist villagers. Rohingya have starved to death and drowned during the journey and have been trampled by elephants after crossing the border into what they thought would be safety. Many say that they don't plan to return to Myanmar.
