About this campaign
Help Rohingya Refugees Devastated by a Fire
On Sunday, January 9, 2022, a devastating fire tore through shelters made of bamboo and tarpaulin in a Rohingya refugee camp in southeastern Bangladesh. Specifically, the border district of Cox’s Bazar. The result is around 1,200 houses burnt, leaving more than 5,000 Rohingya homeless. The cause of the fire is unknown, but the horrendous devastation is very clear.
About The Rohingya Camp
In 2017, around 850,000 Rohingya fled to the camp from Myanmar. Bangladesh has been very gracious in taking in these refugees, but has unfortunately had difficulty finding them permanent homes.
