Abstract

Rohingya refugees are displaced from their home or country as a result from continuous oppression and persecutions. Whilst the nation is aware of the massacre, the effects and aftermath towards refugees is under reported. We highlight a case series of burn injuries in refugees as a result of human violence. The various clinical presentation and complications were described.
