Boys fly a kite on a hill overlooking a refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, December 12, 2017. More than 670,000 Rohingya, around 60% of them children, have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh since the 25th August 2017. Many children have walked for days, and are arriving sick, traumatised and in desperate need of water, food and shelter. The violence that Rohingya children have faced is horrific, with many of them reporting killings, torture, sexual violence, and the burning and destruction of villages and homes. Refugee camps and settlements in Bangladesh are now overcrowded and overwhelmed.
