The New York Times has been covering this with reporters on the ground there. I read this atrocious story, among others, in October:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/19/insid...-fire.html
It's not a blaring headline story everywhere in the US because it doesn't involve sex and they're brown, impoverished people.
I feel for them, especially the mother in the story above, but I'm not sure what else I can personally do apart from donate to the UN High Commissioner on Refugees or any other organization that's actually there.
Also, Aung San Suu Kyi should have her Nobel Peace Prize rescinded.
