In this photograph taken August 28, 2018, a Rohingya woman waits for the shopkeeper to show up at a makeshift pharmacy in Kutupalong refugee camp, Bangladesh. Faith healers have long been sought out in Rohingya society to treat physical and mental ailments. Their trade has thrived in part because of traditional beliefs and in part because Rohingya have lacked access to modern medical care in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, where they are one of the most persecuted minority groups in the world. Access to medical care has changed for the better in the refugee camps in Bangladesh, yet many Rohingya still seek out their faith healers. (Photo by Altaf Qadri/AP Photo)
