Twelve-year-old Arikul Islam Arif's foot still bears the scars of a bullet wound. Last July, during the protests, he was shot, and the bullet shattered four bones in his foot and became lodged inside. Although the bullet was removed through surgery, Arikul still cannot walk without crutches. According to doctors, he will need to use crutches for at least another three to four months. His bicycle still stands in a corner of his room, its chain covered in rust. Arif says, "Uncle, see how the bicycle's chain has rusted as I couldn't ride it for the last couple of months. When my foot heals, I'll clean the rust off the bicycle myself."

Refugees Fleeing Violence In Myanmar Have A New Worry: Elephants
The article discusses the plight of Rohingya refugees in the Kutupalong camp in Bangladesh, where they face a new threat: encounters with endangered Asian elephants. The camp is located within a major elephant corridor, and habitat destruction has led to conflicts between humans and elephants. Anwar Begum, a refugee, recounts how an elephant destroyed her hut and killed her husband. The UNHCR and IUCN are working to mitigate these conflicts by establishing a 'tusk force', building watchtowers, and training Elephant Response Teams (ERTs) among the refugees. Despite these efforts, the risk of elephant attacks remains, especially with the approaching monsoon season, which increases elephant movements. The article also touches on the broader issue of Asian elephant conservation, noting their declining numbers and habitat range.
