A massive fire this week destroyed hundreds of makeshift homes and displaced more than 2,000 people in a Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, prompting calls Thursday from relief agencies for more funding to build safer housing and help provide emergency aid. The fire broke out in the early morning hours of Tuesday in Camp 16, one of more than 30 camps in the Cox’s Bazar district that make up the world’s largest refugee center, housing more than 1 million Rohingya who have fled persecution in neighboring Myanmar. The United Nations’ International Organization for Migration said it had created a new crisis for families already struggling to survive.
