His mother Rushida Hoque carried the injured boy, who has lost two legs and also sustained injuries in different parts, entered Bangladesh.

The injured Rohingya Muslims alleged that the Myanmar security forces across the Rakhaine State fired on them which caused severe injuries including losing their prime organs.
They were the victims of violence unleashed by Myanmar security forces in a bid to force them out of their homeland, the injured Rohingyas said.
‘I fell to the ground when the bullet hit my leg. Some of the fleeing villagers died on the spot. But I was carried to Teknaf by members of my family,’ Sixty-five-year old Bashir Ullah said.

Senior Neuro-Surgeon of CMCH Dr Kamal Uddin, “We are trying to provide them highest treatment. We are under tremendous pressure as we need to treat a huge number of local patients too.”
