More than 500 people have been executed in cool blood massacres in the township since August 25. Over 35,000 people have been forced out of their homes or displaced; have been dehydrated and hungry for days.
Since then, most of these displaced villagers, old, men, women and children alike, are attempting to make to Bangladesh by walking miles across ‘Mayu Mountains’ and ‘Vast Swathes’; and taking boats amidst extreme dangers for their lives.
The list of the Rohingya villages that have come under arson attacks and razed by the Myanmar armed forces (military and BGP) in Rathedaung Township since August 25 are:
