15 dead, 400 missing after fire in Cox’s Bazar Rohingya refugee camp.

A fire broke out March 22 in Bangladesh’s Cox’s Bazar, home to the world’s biggest refugee camp, where nearly one million people from the Rohingya Muslim minority are sheltering, having fled a military-led offensive in neighbouring Myanmar. The fire ripped through the Balukhali camp late in the day, burning through thousands of shelters as people scrambled to save their possessions. The cause of the fire and the extent of damage are as yet unknown.
