Thousands of people have been left without shelter after a massive fire broke out in a crowded Rohingya refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh.
The fire, which is now under control, engulfed some 2,000 shelters at Cox’s Bazar camp on Sunday.
It is estimated that about 12,000 people, most of whom escaped violence in neighbouring Myanmar, have had their accommodation destroyed.
The cause of the fire is not yet clear.

India is a country of shameless perversion and small mindedness. India did not cooperate for Bangladesh war in 1971. They helped Bangladesh to weaken Pakistan. Their aim was to divide Pakistan into two. The Indian Army looted nearly two and a half billion dollars worth of wealth from Bangladesh at the end of the 1971 war. India has killed more than 50 thousand people every day on our border and till 53 years of independence Indian forces. By building dams on the river, we have finished our rivers. We do not get water during summer season. But during the monsoon season we get flooded by pouring water over us. India has placed their foot-licking slave in the power of Bangladesh. A fascist government has been in power in Bangladesh to subdue them. They are interfering in our politics. A country that is India's friend no longer needs an enemy. Our movement will continue. India out. Boycott Indian products.
The current government of Bangladesh has started torturing the common people unjustly with the police force, there is no democracy in Bangladesh at present, the opposition party leaders and activists are being arrested unjustly, I am saying as a common man, the elections are sometimes held under the current fascist Sheikh Hasina governmentIt has not been fair and it will not be fair, we have only one request to the international community, strengthen your eyes by looking at Bangladesh
they let Rohingya people fled their motherland and then karma hit Myanmar lol
I am a Bangladeshi citizen. In our country, everything is run according to irregularities, everything is very expensive. Common people are in a lot of trouble. Food, gas, electricity bills are all very expensive. As a citizen of Bangladesh, I am expecting the resignation of the Bangladesh government
Bbc should ask to British govt for their shelters!
sad news
BBC channel used to lie shamelessly about massive Muslims for its media business in Myanmar.
Take a look at censuses in Rakhine state ( Arakan division) of Myanmar ( Burma) once.
Here they were as the following:
* the official censuses from Colonial British govt and Union of burna govt from 1826 onwards to 1931and 1973-1983,
1) 100,000 in 1826,
2) 121,288 in 1828,
3) 195,107 in 1832,
4) 246,766 in 1840,
5) 257,000 in 1842,
6) 352,348 in 1852,
7) 484,953 in 1872,
8) 588,690 in 1881,
9) 667,274 in 1891,
10) 762,102 in 1901,
11) 839,890 in 1911,
12) 909,246 in 1921,
13) 987,117 in 1931 ( A),
14) 1,008,535 in 1931( B),
15) 1,712,838 in 1973,
16) 2,045,559 in 1983.
* Such censuses represented all Races and all religious communities in Rakhine ( Arakan/ Mrauk U ) in 1826-1983.
When the Britishers arrived at Mrauk U ( Arakan) in 1824,
They found out the former kingdom was seriously depopulated under the cruel Burmese kingdom in 1785-1824..
* as background historical events and facts,
* Mughal empire occupied half of territory from The Mrauk U kingdom with Portuguese armed forces and warships in Hugli region in 1665-1666 .
* Burmrse kingdom ( Ava kingdom) invaded and occupied Mrauk U kingdom in 1784-1785 .
The Victorian Burmese armed forces massacred More than 300,000 residents who were Buddhists,Roman catholic Christians,Hindus,Muslims and Animists and caught and carried away 800,000 residents including last King, and his family and couriers and technologists as prisoner of war from Mrauk U kingdom to Ava kingdom ( Burna) in 1785-1819.
The Burmese Ava kingdom took many precious things and burned whole city and near by towns and destroyed them in 1784-1819.
Thus,
During the first Anglo-Burmese war ,
The British forces led by J.W Morrison, backed by ex Some Mrauk U courtiers ( Prince, Shew Ban, Duke, Aung San Shree and Captain, Chin Pyin and Rakhine ( Arakanese Soldiers) and Indian mercenaries who are the East Indian company marched from British bengal to Arakan on February 2,1824 and reached and fought with Burmese armed forces and defecated them at old city ( Mrauk U ) on February 24,1824 .
The British officials found out that residents were only 30,000 in entire city in February,1826.
And the war between Burmrse kingdom and the British govt and EIC continued to fight until the arbitrary land boundary treaty in February,1826.
Under the Treaty ( Yandabo),
The British got two regions ( Arakan / Mrauk U and TaninThary ( Teninsserin) from Burmese kingdom since 1826.
And,
The British officials conducted a population survey across Arakan region ( 16,500,/ 18,540 sq ml) and recorded about 100,000 inhabitants in 1826
That was why the British officials found out that the former kingdom was seriously depopulated in 1824.
As for Muslims,
* 20,000 are Muslims ( shia and Sunni sects) among total population 257,000 in 1842 census.
* In 1872 census ( 484,953)
64,313 are Muslims ( locals and immigrants in Arakan division.
* in 1901 census ( 762,102)
162,754 are Muslims ( locals and immigrants).
* in 1931 census,( 987,117 ,1,008,535 ),
225,361 or 255,469 are Muslims ( locals and immigrants) in Arakan division.
* in 1983 census ( 2,045,559),
582,984 are Muslims ( locals and immigrants in Rakhine state of Myanmar.
* note,
Muslims moved on from Rakhine ( Arakan ) province to other regions in British burna since 1872.
Even these Muslims migrated from Myanmar to other regions in these days
* the main problematic issues with Muslims are illegal Muslims ( 1,500,000) from bangldesh and East pakistan) in Rakhine state and Myanmar now.
That is how.
