Rohingya refugees fled Myanmar in 2017 due to violence and have since lived in cramped camps in Bangladesh. Limited access to essentials like food, water, and healthcare pushed many to turn to fish despite the dangers. These photos show Rohingya refugees boarding small wooden fishing boats without safety equipment. Waves crash against the boats in rough, unpredictable waters. The refugees tirelessly cast and pull nets, hoping for a good catch. Despite the risks, they press on, knowing their livelihoods depend on it. One photo captures a young boy sorting the catch, his serious face tinged with pride. Fishing here is perilous, with accidents and drownings reported. Hidden dangers like unexploded ordnance add to the risks. Yet, the Rohingya refugees persist, driven by the need to support their families in a world that has abandoned them. These photos reveal their resilience, highlighting the struggles faced by refugees globally and the urgent need for support.
