Blaze Tears Through Over 480 Shelters at Rohingya Refugee Camp
UNICEF Bangladesh announced on US social media platform X: "A fire swept through Rohingya Camp 16 this morning, destroying over 480 shelters and 11 UNICEF-supported learning facilities, taking away homes and classrooms in minutes."
The organization stated: "For Rohingya children who have already lost so much, this is yet another cruel blow," confirming that UNICEF and its partners are presently evaluating the destruction and "are committed to providing urgent support to families."
Bangladesh currently provides refuge to over 1.2 million Muslim Rohingya in Cox's Bazar, the majority having escaped Myanmar in August 2017 amid a military offensive that human rights organizations characterized as genocide.
