Fishing: A Vital Business For Exiled Rohingya Community

SITTWE - MARCH 7: A Rohingya man cuts up fresh fish for drying March 7, 2015 in the village of Thae Chaung where the Rohingya have been exiled, outside of Sittwe, Myamar. The boats are put out to sea for 4 to 5 days with 8-10 workers on each boat. Some fish, mostly Snake catfish, are trucked to Yangon then exported to China. For the Rohingya, the fishing industry brings in vital cash that helps them survive living in an IDP camp where jobs are extremely scarce. In 2012, sectarian violence between the Rohingya, who are Muslim and ethnic Rakhine Buddhists killed at least 200 people and pushed 140,000 into homeless, most being Rohingya. Fish are even sold to the Buddhist Rakhine living in Sittwe, who come daily to the early morning market to purchase the fresh catch. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)
