6,700 Rohingya killed in first month of Myanmar violence: MSF
YANGON, Dec 14, 2017 (BSS/AFP) – At least 6,700 Rohingya Muslims were
killed in the first month of a Myanmar army crackdown on rebels in Rakhine
state that began in late August, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on
Thursday.
“At least 6,700 Rohingya, in the most conservative estimations, are
estimated to have been killed, including at least 730 children below the age
of five years,” the aid group said, basing the figures on surveys it had
conducted.
