Fire Destroys Hundreds of Rohingya Refugee Shelters in Bangladesh
A fire in Bangladesh Monday destroyed hundreds of shelters at the Rohingya refugee camp near Cox's Bazar. Thousands of people are now without homes, officials and witnesses said.
Mohammad Shamsud Douza is a top official with the government's Refugee, Relief and Repatriation Commission. He said the fire at Balukhali camp broke out late in the day and spread quickly through at least four blocks. He said at least four teams of firefighters were struggling to control the fire.
Louise Donovan, a spokeswoman for the United Nations refugee agency, said in an email that fire services, rescue and emergency workers and volunteers deployed to help.
"So far the fire has affected shelters, health centers, distribution points and other facilities. Volunteers are supporting those affected," she said.
Rohingya refugees in the camps said many homes were burned down and several people had died, but neither officials nor the UN could confirm the reports. The cause of the fire has not been established.
Several videos posted on social media showed large clouds of smoke rising over the camp.
Zaifur Hussein is a 50-year-old Rohingya refugee who escaped the fire but lost his home. He told the Reuters news agency, "When we were in Myanmar we faced lots of problems... they destroyed everything... Now it has happened again."
Bangladesh shelters more than one million Rohingyas. Most fled Myanmar in August 2017 when its military began to attack the minority Muslim population, killing and raping many people and burning whole villages. The U.N. has described the country's action as genocidal. Myanmar denies the accusation.
Bangladesh wants to begin sending the refugees back to Buddhist-majority Myanmar. Several attempts to do so under a joint agreement failed because the Rohingya refused to go. They fear they will face more violence in Myanmar. The country denies them basic rights including citizenship.
In January, a fire also destroyed hundreds of poor, temporary homes in the camp, leaving thousands without shelter.

火灾致孟加拉国数百个罗兴亚难民营被毁
周一，孟加拉国科克斯巴扎尔附近的罗兴亚难民营发生火灾，导致数百个收容所被毁。官员和目击者表示，现在有数千人无家可归。
穆罕默德·沙姆苏德·杜扎是孟加拉国政府难民、救济和遣返委员会的高级官员。他表示，当天晚些时候，巴鲁卡里营地发生火灾，火势迅速蔓延了至少四个街区。他表示，目前至少有四支消防队在努力控制火势。
联合国难民署发言人路易丝·多诺万在电子邮件中表示，消防部门、救援人员和应急工作人员以及志愿者被派往现场协助灭火。
“到目前为止，火灾已经对避难所、医疗中心、分发点和其他设施产生影响。志愿者正在为受影响者提供支持。”
难民营中的罗兴亚难民表示，许多房屋被烧毁，还有数人死亡，但官员和联合国都无法证实这些报道。起火原因尚未确定。
社交媒体上发布的几段视频显示，营地上空升起了大片浓烟。
扎伊夫·侯赛因是罗兴亚难民，今年50岁，他从火里逃生，但失去了家园。他对路透社记者表示，“在缅甸时，我们面临很多问题……他们毁了一切……现在，这种情况再次发生。”
孟加拉国收容了100多万名罗兴亚人。2017年8月，缅甸军队开始袭击人口占少数的穆斯林，杀害、强奸了许多人，并将数个村庄整个烧毁，这导致大多数人逃离了缅甸。联合国称缅甸的行为是种族灭绝。但缅甸否认这一指控。
孟加拉国希望将难民送回佛教徒占多数的缅甸。但由于罗兴亚人的拒绝，依据一项联合协议进行的数次尝试都以失败告终。罗兴亚人担心在缅甸会面临更多暴力。缅甸剥夺了他们包括公民权在内的基本权利。
今年1月发生的火灾也摧毁了难民营中数百座简陋的临时住所，导致数千人无家可归。
