Rohingya refugees in Malaysia - A widow with her children

Noor, 26, is a widow. One day while living in Myanmar, she heard that her husband was killed. She waited for one year for him to return, but he never did. After her house was burned down she fled Myanmar with her four children on a boat with other people from her village.

 

She has lived in Kuala Lumpur with her children for a few months now. “People say that I have to work, no one can help me,” but with her youngest still breastfeeding she is unable to leave her children and work.
