The body of 70 year old Khatiza Begum is laid to rest in the Balukhali camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, She fled Kinoce village with her family after the military and local Buddhists started burning Rohingya houses and shooting and hacking people with machetes. For four days they hid in the jungle and then they carried her over hills and through paddy fields for 11 days until they reached Bangladesh. For another 11 days she and her family slept on riverbanks and under trees. A few days after she reached the camp she started having trouble breathing, which was exacerbated by the constant rainfall and bad camp conditions. She saw a doctor but was not given medication that helped. On 18 September she passed away. Her family carried her one final time and laid her to rest in a country far from home.
