A large fire has swept through Rohingya refugee camp Cox’s Bazar, destroying shelters and essential health and aid facilities.

 

The camp, located in eastern Bangladesh, is home to over 850 000 refugees fleeing a military-perpetrated genocide in their native Myanmar.

 

This is the second fire in Cox’s Bazar since the beginning of the year following a January blaze that the UNHCR says destroyed more than 550 shelters and displaced 3500 people
