That's the dilemma for health workers in Bangladesh as they try to treat the physical and mental health issues among the Rohingya who've fled violence in their homeland of Myanmar.
The violence includes "some of the most awful crimes we have ever seen," including beheadings and cutting children's throats, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein tells NPR.
Bangladesh is struggling to accommodate 500,000-plus Rohingya who have poured across the border in less than two months. It isn't recognizing them as refugees and would prefer to see them repatriated.
Over 400,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar for Bangladesh in just the past three weeks. Aid agencies and the Bangladesh government are struggling to cope.
The Myanmar leader has garnered international opprobrium for her handling of what the United Nations and watchdog groups say appears to be a genocide against the country's Muslim minority.
Operations against the Rohingya look like a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing," the U.N. human rights chief says. But Myanmar's civilian leader, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, denies the allegations.
