00:00We are in the refugee camp with the Rohingyas.
00:05We are about to start the livestream with the Love Army team.
00:23We are live from Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh,
00:27in the biggest refugee camp in the world.
00:31We are surrounded by Rohingyas,
00:33the people of Burma who suffered from the horrible genocide.
00:37We are here to try to help them as much as possible
00:40and we want to move with you.
00:48The Love Army is all of us.
00:50It's you above all.
00:51We really need you.
00:58They had the feeling of being heard
01:00and the Rohingyas, I feel like it relieves them a little bit to speak.
01:03It's like no one knows what's going on for them,
01:06that no one listens to them.
01:07That's also what the Love Army wanted to do.
01:09It was to give them the opportunity to speak
01:12and to cry for help themselves.
01:14We are just here to open our microphones,
01:16to film them so that they can express themselves.
01:28He worked in Saudi Arabia when he was young.
01:30He went to Burma because that's where he comes from.
01:32And now it's a people of the homeland,
01:34there's nowhere to go.
01:35And he told me that in Burma,
01:37the military really beat them up.
01:40So he took his family and left.
01:43He came here directly.
01:58This is the Kotopalong makeshift camp.
02:01Around half a million people live in this area, in Kotopalong.
02:06The present condition of these people, Rohingya people, is very bad.
02:13These people have lost everything in Myanmar.
02:19The Myanmar Bruton military have killed their relatives.
02:23Most of them lost everything.
02:26They have everything behind them in Myanmar.
02:56This is a first for the Burmese people.
03:13I think that the people that are waiting there,
03:15have been waiting for so long, maybe for nothing.
03:17What's difficult to see is the number of people
03:20who are in need of food.
03:23We clearly don't have the impression that people are in absolute misery.
03:27They are here, they are waiting for it to happen, they are waiting for the food distribution.
03:32These are people who are on stand-by, they have no papers, they are not recognized anywhere.
03:36I can't even understand the concept.
03:54On the spot, it continues.
03:56The team...
03:57JƩrƓme will stay a few more weeks.
03:59There is a big team that will stay.
04:00Yes, it's not three days of media coverage and of over-tweets,
04:04and then behind, well, thank you, goodbye.
04:06No, that doesn't exist.
04:07It's not possible.
04:08When you see that, it's not possible.
04:09So we will continue from home to make as much noise as possible,
04:13and to follow all this, and to share all this.
04:16And in addition, from home, we will be able to...
04:19I know that I will be able to go and touch people directly,
04:21talking to them face-to-face, telling them what I have experienced.
