Data on Rohingya health is almost nonexistent. However, Rakhine is the nation's second-poorest state and lives have always been at greater risk there. Away from the camps, in isolated and predominantly Muslim northern Rakhine state, the health situation is even worse and reaching a hospital is nearly impossible. (AP Photo/Pyae Phyo Thant Zin)
