The biggest refugee camp burns.

(RT) ⸻ Authorities in Bangladesh have opened an investigation into the circumstances which led to an inferno at a Rohingya refugee camp on Sunday that destroyed around 2,000 shelters and left thousands of people homeless. One man has been detained in connection with the fire, which is thought to have spread quickly through tarpaulin shelters and by gas cylinders in kitchens. The refugee camp in the country's southeast is considered to be the largest of its kind and 90 facilities, including hospitals and learning centers, had been destroyed in the fire. Bangladesh authorities are working with domestic and international aid groups to supply food and temporary shelter to those affected by the blaze. Rohingya refugee camps were affected by 222 fires between January 2021 and December 2022, including 60 cases of arson.
