According to the description on Alamy, the photo was taken in March 2017 in Cox&#8217;s Bazar, Bangladesh. The man in the photo is Mohammad Alamgir, who was disabled due to polio. He fled with his family from the violence against Muslims in Myanmar and now took shelter in the Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox&#8217;s Bazar. Alamy credits Zuma Press as the contributor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-98283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/2021-07-15-10_38_55-Settings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1898\" height=\"924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/2021-07-15-10_38_55-Settings.jpg 1898w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/2021-07-15-10_38_55-Settings-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/2021-07-15-10_38_55-Settings-1024x499.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/2021-07-15-10_38_55-Settings-768x374.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/2021-07-15-10_38_55-Settings-1536x748.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1898px) 100vw, 1898px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alamy also has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alamy.com\/stock-photo-march-6-2017-coxs-bazar-chittagong-bangladesh-mohammad-alamgir40-became-135929783.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">other photographs<\/a> of the man.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98347 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/b00814b8-e1ed-40a2-a521-5b1975856f7c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1851\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/b00814b8-e1ed-40a2-a521-5b1975856f7c.jpg 1851w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/b00814b8-e1ed-40a2-a521-5b1975856f7c-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/b00814b8-e1ed-40a2-a521-5b1975856f7c-1024x452.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/b00814b8-e1ed-40a2-a521-5b1975856f7c-768x339.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/07\/b00814b8-e1ed-40a2-a521-5b1975856f7c-1536x678.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1851px) 100vw, 1851px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Upon further digging, we found that the photo was taken by documentary photographer and photojournalist, Probal Rashid, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biennialgrant.com\/probal-rashid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who at that time was working in Bangladesh, represented by Zuma Press, USA<\/a>.
