A fire in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh guts more than 1,000 shelters

A fire broke out in Kutupalong camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, destroying over 1,000 shelters and leaving thousands of Rohingya refugees homeless. The fire quickly spread due to strong winds but was eventually brought under control by fire response volunteers. No casualties were reported. The cause of the fire is believed to be a mud oven, a common source of fires in the refugee camps. This incident adds to the ongoing challenges faced by the Rohingya refugees, who have fled from Myanmar due to persecution and discrimination.
