Art and Poetry from the Rohingya Refugee Camps in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh : Oxfam / Baquer Namazi


“My situation has made me a poet and artist."
Mayyu Khan, 20


Azimul captured this image after a fire ripped through his temporary home in Cox’s Bazar. “It is important because there are many things journalists miss — but I live in the camps and am myself a refugee, so I can capture the daily reality of my community.Through my photos, the world can be updated about the situation in the refugee camps.
Ro Anamul Hasan, 24



These opening lines are from “My Refugee Life” by poet Ro Anamul Hasan. His writing examines his experiences with horrific violence in Myanmar, a place where his uncles were arbitrarily arrested and tortured and from where he was forced to flee.
