Rohingya refugees walk through water after crossing border by boat through the Naf River in Teknaf, Bangladesh, on Thursday. Our @VivianUNHCR witnessed desperate Rohingya refugees fleeing to Bangladesh. "While most Rohingya refugees arrive on foot, mostly walking through the jungle and mountains for several days, thousands are braving long and risky voyages across the rough seas of the Bay of Bengal," the UNHCR said. In this Aug 31, 2017, file photo, Bangladeshi villagers cover bodies of Rohingya women and children at Shah Porir Deep, in Teknak, Bangladesh. Several thousand people held a protest in Dhaka, the Bangladesh capital, after Friday prayers against the crackdown on the Rohingya.
