Citizens of despair

Photographed by Javier Arcenillas

Years after their expulsion from Myanmar, thousands of unregistered Rohingya refugees living in the Kutupalong makeshift camp, Bangladesh, have been forcibly displaced from their homes, in an act of intimidation and abuse by the local authorities. Some international organisations have been treating numerous people for injuries where the majority were women and children victims of rejection, and the situation doesn't seem to be advancing but towards the ultimate despair of these new asian parias.
