A child’s eye view of Cox’s Bazar Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh

BBC Bangla meets the children of Cox’s Bazar, including 3 year old Nayeem, born there the day after his parents fled Myanmar to escape the violence.

Since then home has been the crowded Cox’s Bazar refugee camp.  BBC Bangla’s Shahnewaj Rocky has revisited the camp and met some of the children living there, like 3-year-old Nayeem.
