why are they so terrified of staying in myanmar? we have done an assessment, the second assessment of the camps, to determine the need. it shows that only 11% want to go back, which is remarkably low in these situations. when you are there, you can see why. the cases of rape and murder, they are notjust a few stories that you here but stories that you hear from stories that you here but stories that you hearfrom every stories that you here but stories that you hear from every single person you speak to. when you look over at the hills, you can see myanmar and the smoke is still coming out. these people haven't walked for many miles and these things happened just a few days ago. is it ethnic cleansing? that is what it has been described as. rape is being used as a weapon. men have been killed and villages have been burned, so there is nothing to go back to. what has happened to these people is a way of completely taking dignity away, and i think that is why, beyond food and water, support for women and girls, gender—based violence,

basically a lot of initial support in making sure that these people who came from myanmar they go back to their home and there's an international support needed because these people started going home is in myanmar and they're supported to kill process that needs to be negotiated and supported by in that initial sanest members and that's more critical because the current interventions are only temporary unless we really had just done the language causes of the problem high people can invite people from from that they're now in from that area so that they can that is just and people can go back in and voluntarily leave there safely and with dignity then it's not going to happen and that has to be ensured through dialogue between not only bangladesh and me and mine but also through an international process that. pulls up what is needed right dr mohamad from the you mentioned support from the brac relief agency thank you my apologies for talking over you a little earlier. japan's prime minister shinzo has won a resounding victory after taking a gamble by calling snap elections because coa

more pressure needed to be put on the government of myanmar, undoubtedly. and of course the worse high hopes when and size i think the words of kofi annan when he talked of his disappointment with what he had seen, the very firm view of the united nations secretary general and the damning report of the un, the responsible arm for human rights when they talked about the complicity of the security forces in what has been done to the rohingya really reminds me of the situation in syria for example when i was at the united nations and watched for over five years that situation unfold before our very eyes. it got worse and worse. we we re eyes. it got worse and worse. we were not able to get the kind of humanitarian aid we needed to people. they left in their thousands and then it became millions and we we re and then it became millions and we were unable to protect them in the way we should. it's a real damning indictment on the international community. and of course syria still remains in the headlines, donald trump will be heading to asia next month, what can

her story of the night she had to flee myanmar is depressingly familiar. villages torched and her mother dying in the flames. "they're killing all the muslims," she told me. "slaughtering innocent rohingyas. we've always been treated as less of people in our own land. now they want to finish us off." but dangers lurk in exile as well. young women are vulnerable. and the chance of children falling into the hands of sexual predators or exploited for their labour is ever present. the families here have nothing. they are trying to survive on a daily basis, and some of them at some point might be tempted to give away one of their children for domestic work. you know, not going to school, sometimes sexual abuse. so the risks are high. but there is light against all the gloom. children in the camps are getting vaccinated against cholera and other diseases. there is even a chance to watch cartoons. and youngsters are never allowed to feel ashamed of who they are. in this class, they are reciting nursery rhymes from their homeland. but some will never return. the d
