On Wednesday 4th February 2015, thousands of Rohingya refugees were evicted from their makeshift camps in an area about 60 kilometers from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The police were ordered to clear and tear down their houses to make way for tourism along the new Marine Drive Road.

The unregistered Refugee communities there have been living in that area since the 1990s, after fleeing the ethnic persecution in their own country, Myanmar. The area looked like a scene after a cyclone had wiped parts of the areas. Families were seen with the portion of their belongings they picked from the piles of scraps from what was their home. Mothers with the young children, staring bleakly at their torn down homes, trying to collect their small possession of some plastic sheets and sticks, some pots. The men folk working to put the huts back together for their families to have at least a cover above their heads to live in.
