Rohingya exodus still growing, six months into crisis

The Rohingya population has shrunk since the military crackdown, which has been termed "ethnic cleansing" by the UN.

Teknaf (Bangladesh) (AFP) - Hundreds of desperate Rohingya Muslims are still pouring over the Myanmar border into Bangladesh every week, bringing harrowing accounts of torture and murder, six months after a military crackdown sparked the massive refugee crisis.

One of the recent arrivals, Nur Mohammad, said his village in Myanmar's Rakhine state was surrounded by Buddhist vigilantes for days before they were allowed to leave.
