Thousands displaced as fire rips through Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh

A major fire has devastated the homes of more than 12,000 Rohingya refugees at the world’s largest migrant camp in Bangladesh.

A fire raged through the crowded Balukhali camp in the Cox's Bazar district on Sunday, with refugees trained by humanitarian aid organisations in fire prevention the first to respond.

No casualties were reported immediately, said Emdadul Haque, a fire service official.
