A Rohingya refugee and Sabura Khatun's daughter stand barefooted next to firewood near the Palongkhali refugee camp near Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh December 24, 2017. Three months ago, Sabura a mother of six, arrived to Bangladesh from Myanmar's town of Maungdaw. Twice per week, while her husband awaits with the youngest baby, Sabura and five of her daughters walk barefooted four kilometres from the refugee camp to a forest to bring firewood to cook rice. Every month she receives 25 kilograms of rice which is not enough to sustain her family. “Whenever I walk to the forest I am afraid of local peasants who are attacking Rohingyas as they are cutting down firewood”, Sabura said. “My husband is sick, he can barely walk, I have no other choice, I have to take care of my family”.
