This program is about the UN and Rohingyas. In recent months, Myanmars armed forces joined by Buddhist mobs have been engaged in a campaign of terror against Muslim families living in Rakhine, killing them, torching their houses and forcing hundreds of thousands of them to flee.

Many have settled in camps in neighboring Bangladesh. Thousands remain on a stretch of land known as the no-mans-land between Myanmar and Bangladesh. Some 700,000 Rohingya have been driven into neighboring Bangladesh since last August by the army crackdown. The United Nations has said it has strong suspicions that acts of genocide have taken place against the Rohingya.
