COX'S BAZAR, Bangladesh (Reuters) -After Ajib Bahar's six-month-old son fell sick last year in Myanmar's war-torn Rakhine state, the 38-year-old Rohingya mother said she had no medicine or food to give him. The boy died in her arms.
"My children cried all night from hunger. I boiled grass and gave it to them just to keep them quiet," Bahar said from a refugee camp in Bangladesh's Cox's Bazar, where she and her family sought safety after fleeing violence and starvation in Myanmar.
