[1/2] It has been almost two weeks since MSF first learnt that some boats, believed to be carrying #Rohingya refugees, were adrift at sea.

One of these boats is now reportedly off the coast of Indonesia and we are becoming increasingly concerned for those aboard.

In Rakhine state we have faced recent challenges reaching patients due to the resumption and escalation of fighting between armed groups, and a restriction on the movement of people and goods, such as medications.

Omg 😂

5 years today since violence erupted in Myanmar.

5 years since at least 6,700 Rohingya were violently killed.

5 years since 700,000 were forced to flee for their lives.

5 years and 1 million Rohingya people are still living in precarious conditions.

In 2017, thousands of Rohingya were killed in a military-led campaign of violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state that drove 700,000 people to flee for their lives to Bangladesh. Five years on, and there is little hope of a safe, dignified and voluntary return to their homeland.
