Rohingya refugees from Myanmar’s northwestern Rakhine state are flooding across the border into Bangladesh.
They’re fleeing violence that has plagued the state for weeks. Some refugees told CNN they suffered rape, torture, or saw their homes burned down and family members executed.
“If (the military) finds any boys aged above 10 years old, they kill them. Men are also being picked up by the military,” said Lalu Begum.
“When the military came, we fled from our home. I don’t know if my husband is dead or alive.”
