Sick and in crisis
After religious violence forced many of Myanmar’s Muslim Rohingya minority from their homes, the community is now grappling with a health crisis exacerbated by restrictions on international aid.
In February, Myanmar's government expelled Medecins Sans Frontieres-Holland, the main aid group providing healthcare to more than half a million Rohingya in Rakhine State. Other NGOs have also had to halt their work.
