Dividing Myanmar and Bangladesh is
the Naf river. At times, it's 2 miles wide.
Below the Naf river, the Rakhine
State in Myanmar has been a place of conflict for decades. The Rohingya people,
who lived there, have not recognized as citizens since 1982.
In August 2017, Rohingya militants
allegedly killed 12 Myanmar police officers, and Myanmar's military responded on a
massive scale. A 2018 United Nations report
accused the military of genocide, including murder, imprisonment, torture, and
rape.
Fearing for their safety, hundreds
of thousands fled into Bangladesh, primarily by crossing the river.
