Thousands of Rohingya refugees in India are facing a food and health crisis amid deportation threats. As Press TV’s Munawar Zaman reports, the dire situation of Rohingya, who fled Myanmar due to a state-sanctioned persecution campaign, is compounded by the fact that India is not a signatory to international refugee conventions.
