COX’S BAZAR: Nur Begum is 22 and a mother of two. She should be looking forward to the future, but doesn’t know how she will live it.

“My village was attacked by the military and my husband was shot dead. I escaped with my children, taking three days to reach the camp while having nothing to eat,” said Nur Begum, who arrived at the Kutupalong Refugee Camp 10 days ago.
