Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh

Kamal Hasom digs a platform for his family's makeshift shelter in the Mainerghona Refugee Camp near Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, on October 27, 2017.

Hasom said he and his family fled their village in Myanmar in late September after their house was burned by that country's military. In Bangladesh they have received food supplies from Caritas.

Since August more than 600,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar for safety in Bangladesh.
