In over 20 years at the UN Refugee Agency, Felipe Camargo has worked in many of the world's most dangerous places. One of the places he has returned to multiple times is Bangladesh - where since 2017 more than 723,000 Rohingya refugees have sought safety from persecution in Myanmar.  Felipe describes what keeps him going back to the field - even in the face of his own personal tragedy.
