The Myanmar Army is now forcing thousands of Rohingya to flee the country and enter Bangladesh, by creating an artificial food crisis. Hunger compelled hundreds of Rohingya people to leave their homes and enter Bangladesh in search of food. About 20,000 Rohingyas managed to enter Bangladesh through Ukhiya’s Anjuman Para border but was later taken to the No Man’s Land by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) for security reasons. Yasin, who has been staying at the Kutupalong camp for the last month, visits the No Man’s Land to feed his relatives. Apart from Anjuman Para border area, hundreds of Rohingya were also waiting at Myanmar’s Kuangsibong, Chakmakata and other bordering areas with hopes to enter Bangladesh.
