Rohingya - The world's most forgotten people

A photo essay reportage on the Rohingya living in the IDP camps in Sittwe Myanmar. Commonly referred to as the world's most unwanted people, the Rohingya live in a poorly run inhospitable IDP camp. The military government make no secret of their view on the Rohingya. They are "not our ethnicity ... we will send them away if any third country will accept them," Former President Thein Sein said in 2014. According to a recent assessment made by Yale’s Allard K. Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic, there is “strong evidence” of a genocide being committed against the Rohingya people by the Myanmar government.
