One year later, Rohingya refugees remain in dire streets

It is one year since 700,000 minority Rohingya fled northern Rakhine ((ruh-HINE)) state in Myanmar, driven out by military action the United Nations describes as "textbook ethnic cleansing." They joined more than 200,000 other Rohingya refugees in camps in Bangladesh, where they continue to face health problems, poor living conditions and uncertain futures.
