The scorched-earth tactic by the Burmese military has left hundreds
of villages literally burned to the ground, and the reports of rape,
starvation, mass killing--even reports of security forces burning
people, babies, alive--have been horrifying. Satellite images and maps
indicate that the destruction by the Burmese military is not episodic,
it is systematic. In Bangladesh, aid groups have been unable to keep up with the influx
of refugees. The unprecedented scale of the crisis and the lack of
infrastructure in the makeshift camps have created significant gaps in
access to food, medical care, and even safety and shelter. The international community has condemned the violence against the
Rohingya, and rightly so.
