Horrifying fire

It’s so sad that vulnerable people faced horrifying conditions after a fire swept through a Rohingya refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh (“Fire leaves nearly 7,000 Rohingya homeless in Bangladesh camp,” Jan.7, Gulf Today website).  According to the report, a fire swept through a Rohingya refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh in the early hours of Sunday, destroying about 800 shelters and rendering thousands homeless, officials said. Fire service officials and Rohingya volunteers brought the blaze under control around three hours after it hit Camp 5 in Cox’s Bazar, a border district with Myanmar. I am sure the Bangladeshi government will provide full support to the needy people, refugee brothers and sisters, and rebuild the Rohingya refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh so they can live in their camp peacefully.

The world should support the Bangladeshi government which is doing its best in providing shelter to the vulnerable Rohingya refugees and providing food for their families.
