Myanmar Rohingya: The injured sheltering in Bangladesh

BBC News
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya are in refugee camps and some arrive with terrible injuries.
Myanmar's army has been accused of killing Rohingya people and burning their villages, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee to Bangladesh. Reuters news agency has collected pictures documenting the plight and injuries of those who make it across the border.
Myanmar's army earlier this week released the results of an internal investigation in which it exonerated itself of any blame. But the assertions contradict evidence seen by BBC correspondents of a crisis the United Nations has called "a textbook example of ethnic cleansing".
On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called for an independent investigation into the crisis. Many witness accounts contradict the army's portrayal of itself.
