A fire in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh has destroyed more than 1,000 shelters, leaving thousands homeless, according to local fire officials and the United Nations. The fire broke out late on Saturday at the Kutupalong camp in Ukhiya and quickly spread due to strong winds. No casualties were reported, but refugees, including women and children, were forced to flee to a nearby open field with their belongings. The cause of the fire is still uncertain, but preliminary statements suggest it may have started from a mud oven. This incident highlights the challenges faced by Rohingya refugees, who have fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar due to persecution and discrimination. The United Nations’ refugee agency is currently assessing the extent of the damage caused by the fire. Similar fires have occurred in the past, temporarily displacing many refugees. The Rohingya continue to face uncertain futures with repatriation attempts stalled and conditions in Myanmar deteriorating.
