STORYLINE:
Syed Karim and his family have been staying in the sprawling Balukhali refugee camp in Cox's Bazar for the last eight years.
Like hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees who fled to Bangladesh in 2017, Karim left his home and farm in Myanmar's Sittwe district to protect his family from the violence and persecution.
Myanmar launched a brutal crackdown in August 2017 following insurgent attacks on guard posts in Rakhine state.
The scale, organization and ferocity of the operation led to accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide from the international community, including the U.N.
More than a million Rohingya refugees living in dozens of camps in coastal Bangladesh are still hoping for a safe return to their previous home in Rakhine state.
The situation in the camps is dire, and the resources scarce.
Karim's wife Jannatara, 30, is worried about how she can provide food and education for their four children.
“There is nothing here brother, we could not cook anything. We could not provide lunch for our children. Our children are not able to go to school, and my husband does not have a job,” she said, showing the empty cooking vessels in her kitchen.
Karim said food supplies have been dwindling, and the family's return to Myanmar is uncertain.
