More Than 300,000 Rohingya Refugee Children ‘Outcast and Desperate’, Unicef Says

Date:

One in five children under the age of five is estimated to be acutely malnourished, requiring medical attention

NEARLY 340,000 Rohingya children are living in squalid conditions in Bangladesh camps where they lack enough food, clean water and health care, the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) said on Friday.

Up to 12,000 more children join them every week, fleeing violence or hunger in Myanmar, often still traumatised by atrocities they witnessed, it said in a report “Outcast and Desperate”.
