Rohingya refugees face humanitarian crisis in India...

Hundreds of Rohingya refugees are camping out on the outskirts of the Indian capital, New Delhi.

A Press TV correspondent who visited one of the camps in New Delhi says the refugees suffer from lack of food and medicine.

The hardship faced by the Rohingya refugees seems to be so severe that even the aid program by the United Nations refugee agency cannot alleviate it.

“We are facing extreme hardship especially when someone gets sick. In recent weeks, we lost one of our brothers due to lack of medical help,” Mohamad Haroon, a refugee, told Press TV.

Sakuara Begum, a woman refugee, also said, “We don’t get help from anyone. We are facing extreme hardship. My father died recently as he was sick and we couldn’t afford medicine for him. We are in desperate need of food and medicine for our children. If the condition like this continues for a long time, our family will die of hunger.”

The refugees have been forced to leave their homeland Myanmar over ongoing violence against them there. More + video...
