Hundreds of Rohingya line the narrow path that leads to Teknaf Syed Zakir Hossain/Dhaka Tribune
A Dhaka Tribune world exclusive brings you an eye-witness report from the first journalistic incursion into Rakhine since the area was sealed to outsiders by Myanmar.
Due to the sealing off of Rakhine by Myanmar, and their refusal to allow entry to media and aid workers, until now all reports of the situation in Rakhine were based on the accounts of survivors and could not be independently corroborated. In order to report with incontestable accuracy, the Dhaka Tribune’s Adil Sakhawat undertook the hazardous trip to the Maungdaw district in Rakhine to bring back this exclusive first-hand account of life and death across the border.

‘Myanmar army shot my parents dead’
Amanur Rahman Rony
Published at 02:38 PM September 21, 2017
Amanur Rahman Rony/Bangla Tribune
60% of the Rohingya refugees arriving in Bangladesh are children
Myanmar’s brutal military crackdown on Rohingya sparked a mass exodus of more than 400,000 members of the Muslim minority to Bangladesh in less than a month.
60% of the refugees who fled persecution in the Rakhine state are children – many of whom lost both parents when the army and local mobs attacked Rohingya villages.
Many of the orphans are scattered across refugee camps in Teknaf, mostly living with their relatives and surviving members of their families.
Some of these children told tales of horror.
Md Jakaria, 13
He lived with parents – Sokhina Katun and Nur Ahmed – at Sarwar Dighi in Maungdaw. He only remembers that it was on a Friday that his life was turned upside down.
“The military took away my father along with all other men from our village. Then they set fire to our house with my mother inside. She was burned to death,” he said.
Jakaria said he fled to Bangladesh with his neighbours. He has a sister but he did not know where she was now.
Md Jubayer, 7
Jubayer is from Maungdaw’s Hashuyat area. His parents Hashim Ullah and Nur Jahan have both been killed. He fled with his aunt Hamida Khatun.
“The military torched our village and shot my parents dead,” he said.
Asmot Ara, 8
Asmot Ara came from Maungdaw’s Mamapara with his elder sister and brother. They were separated from their parents during the military crackdown.
“The army fired indiscriminately after setting our village on fire. People ran in every direction and we lost out parents in the chaos,” she said.
“Our grandmother is currently looking after us,” she added.
Jannat Ara, 8
Jannat’s house was in Maungdaw’s Nawyapara. The army killed her parents Shamsun Nahar and Basher Ahmed, and her elder sister.
She said: “I came here with my aunt Rasheda Begum. The army shot my family dead.”
Md Faysal, 11
Faysal said he lived in Maungdaw’s Sayeadeya area with his parents – Md Sayead, Ramija Khatun – and siblings Moktakina, 7, and Halima, 3.
He said: “I came here with my grandmother Amnena Khatun.
“We had a happy family. One morning, the military entered our village and burned down the entire area. I could not find my parents after the incident.”
Malek Hossain, 7
Malek and his eight-year-old sister Asmat Ara came to Bangladesh with their grandmother Farzana Begum. All other family members are dead.
Malek said: “My parents were burned to death in the fire set by the military.”
Maisar Begum, 14
Maisar said he fled the violence from Maungdaw’s Dakshin Para with his younger brother Morshed.
“First they opened fire on the villagers and then they torched everything,” he recalled.
The Rohingya are the world’s largest stateless community and one of the most persecuted minorities. Mistreatment of Rohingya by Buddhist-majority Myanmar stretch back decades. Naypyitaw denies them citizenship and considers them illegal migrants from Bangladesh.
Myanmar military responded to August 25 insurgent attacks on police posts and an army base with a brutal campaign targeting the Rohingya. The UN has described Myanmar violence as a “textbook example of ethnic cleansing”.

Malnourished, underfed Rohingya children all around
Afrose Jahan Chaity
Published at 03:54 PM September 26, 2017
Last updated at 12:23 AM September 27, 2017
Children suffering from malnutrition have a 12% higher mortality rate compared to normal children. Many Rohingya children under the age of five are suffering from malnutrition in the camps Afrose Jahan Chaity/Dhaka Tribune
According to a report published by the IOM and ISCG on September 24, 4,260 Rohingya children under the age of five were admitted into a malnutrition treatment and prevention programme in the camps
Symptoms of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) have been identified in 759 Rohingya children aged under five who have been brought to Bangladesh by families fleeing the Myanmar military crackdown in Rakhine state.
The Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) estimates that of the circa 100,000 Rohingya children currently staying in the refugee camps of Cox’s Bazar, over 61,000 are under the age of five and many of these are severely malnourished.
Among them is Shafik Alam, a two-year-old boy from Maungdaw who is being treated by the Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) run by Action Against Hunger at the Kutupalong refugee camp.
Shafik weighs only 5.9kg and is suffering from diarrhoea. His mother, Nur Begum, was unable to breastfeed him for days.
“When I receive food, I give it to my five children. I only eat leftovers,” she told the Dhaka Tribune.
With food, water, shelter and sanitation facilities all in short supply for the Rohingya, it is the youngest children who are suffering most.
Another two-year-old girl from Buthidaung, Nur Fatema, is also undergoing treatment at the OTP and is being cared for by her aunt, Monira, as her mother is currently receiving treatment at a nearby hospital.
“We starved for days, as it took more than 12 days to reach Bangladesh,” Monira told the Dhaka Tribune.
Shafik and Fatema are just two of 492 children under the age of five to have been treated at the OTP in Kutupalong refugee camp up to September 23.
In the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, 61,269 Rohingya children are under the age of five Afrose Jahan Chaity/Dhaka Tribune
Meanwhile, according to a September 24 report by the ISCG – an overarching structure set up by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to ensure the humanitarian needs of the Rohingya are addressed – a total of 4,260 Rohingya children under the age of five had spent over a week in a malnutrition treatment and prevention programme in one of the camps.
Dr Tahmeed Ahmed, senior director of nutrition and clinical services at ICDDRB, told the Dhaka Tribune that the shortage of food, water and sanitation facilities caused by the ongoing refugee crisis will increase the risk of malnutrition and death among the Rohingya children.
“First, a fast assessment is needed to identify the exact number of children with malnutrition. Second, we have to ensure food security. And third, malnourished children should have access to nutritious food,” he said.
Dr Tahmeed further said that children who are suffering from SAM must be provided with WHO recommended therapeutic food supplements. “SAM weakens the immune system and increases risk of several long-term infections,” he said.
Children suffering from malnutrition have a 12% higher mortality rate compared to normal children.
Earlier this year, Unicef reported that Rohingya children in western Rakhine state require urgent assistance, including access to healthcare and education.
When the latest wave of violence began in northern Rakhine state on August 25, Action Against Hunger’s SAM treatment programme was supporting nearly 9,000 children. Since then, over 435,000 Rohingya people have fled to Bangladesh.
According to a report by the World Food Programme, several regions of Rakhine state suffer from high levels of food insecurity while malnutrition is persistently high.
Nutrition surveys conducted in late 2015 revealed alarming rates of global acute malnutrition (GAM), while in 2016, surveys indicated that a total of 18,900 children (12,200 aged under five and 6,700 aged over five) needed urgent treatment for SAM across Rakhine.

Orphans to get separate shelter, smartcards

Unb, Dhaka
The government plans to provide separate shelters and smartcards to Rohingya orphans who have entered Bangladesh since violence erupted in Rakhine State of Myanmar last month.
It will take steps to make special arrangements for accommodation, food and other relief items for all the orphans aged up to 18, State Minister for Social Welfare Nuruzzaman Ahmed said yesterday.
An initiative has been taken to get 400 acres of land -- 200 acres each in Ukhia and Teknaf -- from Cox's Bazar district administration for that purpose, he added.
Noting that some 6,000 Rohingya orphans might have entered Bangladesh, Nuruzzaman said they would get “standard meal”.
"As per the prime minister's directives, measures are being taken to provide every Rohingya orphan with a smartcard," the state minister told a press briefing at the secretariat.
"Details of some 2,000 orphans have already been added to a database through Google forms. And all the preparation for the database will be complete within a week. The smartcards will be issued after that."

He told media that his ministry had already urged the government to allocate 200 bighas of land for their rehabilitation.

Meanwhile, some 1,850 orphan children have been enlisted while their total number is around 6,000, he informed.
The form fill-up activities will be ended by seven days, he hoped.
