Burma’s forgotten refugees. Bangladesh is temporary home to 36,000 Muslim’s who have fled human-rights abuses and religious persecution in Burma, known as Rohingya’s. Here, in the makeshift camp of Dum Dum Mea, 10,000 Rohingya’s live in some of the worst conditions of any refugees in the world. They are confined to overcrowded, tight spaces, with insufficient water and inadequate shelter. At the beginning of 2007, the Bangladeshi government began reclaiming land from illegal encroachment along all of Bangladesh’s roads. The refugees at the makeshift camp were given 24 hours to move. They had nowhere to go. March 2007.
