As Myanmar's NLD-led government assumes the mantle of power, there is little indication that things will get better for the ethnic Rohingya people, as Lucy Kafanov reports from Rakhine state.
Abdul Rashid, 47, watched helplessly as his wife Rukia's body stiffened and began to shake uncontrollably - her face contorted in pain as the convulsions raked her emaciated frame. His eldest daughter applied a wet compress to her mother's head, trying to hold her steady, while the younger siblings huddled together in a corner, whimpering silently.
Minutes later, the seizure was over. Rukia remained unconscious as the raspy sound of her labored breathing again filled the cramped thatched bamboo hut. (Courtesy of DW.COM)
