Bangladesh: 400 missing as massive fire engulfs Rohingya camp

At least 15 people were killed after massive fire engulfed a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh. The UN refugee agency confirmed that at least 400 people remained missing. "It is massive, it is devastating," said UNHCR's Johannes Van der Klaauw. "We still have 400 people unaccounted for, maybe somewhere in the rubble," he said. According to the reports, more than 550 people have been injured and about 45,000 displaced. Bangladesh government has ordered a high level inquiry and asked concerned authorities to provide food and shelter to the affected people. The inferno ripped through the balukhali camp near the southeastern town of Cox's Bazar, burning through thousands of shanties. "Everything has gone. Thousands are without homes," Aman Ullah, a Rohingya refugee from the Balukhali camp, told Reuters. "The fire was brought under control after six hours but some parts of the camp could be seen smoking all night long," he added.
