YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAJ+ interviewed Ayesha Khatun, a Rohingya refugee, about how letters from her husband and son in a Myanmar jail offers her a rare source of hope.
Ayesha fled Myanmar with her children in August 2017. When she escaped her village in Rakhine State, she did not know what had happened to her eldest son and husband, who were arrested in a Myanmar army sweep in August 2017.
Until she received a letter.
Thousands like Ayesha unable to go back want to know if their loved ones survived.
And those left in Myanmar's jails are desperate to know if their families made it to the safety of the camps in Bangladesh.
Between August 2017 and October 2018, the International Committee of the Red Cross collected more than 2,400 messages and tracing requests from people on both sides of the Myanmar-Bangladesh border.
This is Ayesha's story.
No one knows how many Rohingya rape survivors have given birth. But in early 2018, the UN said () 2,700 survivors of sexualand genderbased violence have received humanitarian help in the camps.* *This is Shafika's story.
