AP PHOTOS: Portraits of Rohingya survivors of capsized boat

In this Oct. 1, 2017, photo, Rohingya man Alam Jafar sits for a photograph at a transit shelter for newly arrived Rohingya refugees at Kutupalong camp in Bangladesh. In Myanmar, the 25-year-old farmer owned a verdant rice field, a boat that ferried passengers up and down the river and lived in a four-room house made of wood and bamboo surrounded by coconut and mango trees. When the mob came to his village on Sept. 25, Jafar had no choice but to flee with his wife and three children. The boat they were traveling on capsized on Sept. 28 and left him as the sole survivor in a family of 5. (AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe)
