Rohingya refugee crisis: 5 years later, life for those who fled "genocide" in Myanmar is "worse, not better."

Imagine life in a sprawling, makeshift city of tents and shacks surrounded by fencing to keep people penned in, with no access to education or any way to earn a living, dependent entirely on humanitarian aid to survive. That's life for the 1 million Rohingya Muslim refugees who have been stuck for five years now in the purgatory of the world's biggest refugee camp, at Cox's Bazar on the coast of Bangladesh.

In late August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingyas fled a brutal military crackdown and campaign of ethnic cleansing in Myanmar's Rakhine state to join about 300,000 who were already living in the sprawling network of camps in neighboring Bangladesh.

Five years later, they're still struggling to obtain even the most basic necessities, like food, and they've no reason to hope for better days in the near future.
