Video Description (from Youtube)
Today marks two years since more than 700,000 Rohingya fled Myanmar to escape what UN investigators have called a 'genocide' in Rakhine state.
Al Jazeera's correspondents Mohammed Jamjoom and
Stefanie Dekker reflect on the stories they heard and the suffering they saw when they visited the camps in Bangladesh where the Rohingya sought shelter.
Filmed by Fadi Benni and Sulayman Hossain

Rakhine, Myanmar, had crossed the border into Bangladesh since August 25, 2017. This number increased to 624,000 by November 2, 2017, and over 625,000 by December 6, 2017. The majority are Muslim while a minority are Hindu.
