Kiwi describes scenes at Bangladesh-Myanmar border

Rohingya refugees who have escaped Myanmar have been recounting horrific stories of mass rape, murder and arson as they arrive in Bangladesh. According to aid agenices 615,000 Rohingya refugees have fled violence in the Mynamar's Rakhine State since August 25. Myanmar leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi's failure to halt the ongoing persecution is drawing mounting criticism. The Irish singer and activist Bob Geldof has announced he is handing back his "Freedom of the City of Dublin" award, also held by Ms Suu Kyi, in protest over her handling of the Rohingya crisis. New Zealand aid worker Alex Snary has just returned from Rakhine state and describes the scene to us.
