"They (soldiers) shot him just above the eye and he is utterly traumatised. He is in enormous pain," the boy's father Mohammad Nabi told AFP at the Chittagong Medical College Hospital where he is being treated. It quickly ran out of beds, leaving many of the 70 Rohingya refugees being treated there to find a space on the floor. The United Nations says 270,000 Rohingya, a Muslim minority, have flooded into neighbouring Bangladesh since deadly violence erupted in Buddhist-majority Myanmar's Rakhine state two weeks ago. Despite his wounds, Jahur managed to walk to the border, and then on to the hospital in Chittagong for treatment.
