Fires destroy Balukhali Rohingya Refugee Camp
Donation protected
We are urgently raising funds to help burns victims, many of them children, following another outbreak of fires on 22 March 2021 at Balukhali Rohingya Refugee Camp in Bangladesh. My colleague received a string of WhatsApp messages below with a series of devastating photos of the fires from residents. The senders wish to remain anonymous due to the political sensitivities around these fires and police arrests of suspects. To date, according to news reports and residents confirmations, more than 17,000 thousands shelters have been burnt and destroyed. More than 45,000 people have been affected by the fires. 18 people have died. 560 people injured. More than 400 people are missing.
All money raised will go directly to the camp and will be used to help care for those who have lost everything and who have been physically injured by the fires.
[11:17, 22/03/2021] The fire is burning still and spreading faster in Balukhali Rohingya refugee camp, and around.
[11:18, 22/03/2021] Over one hour and fire is still going on but no fire service has arrived
[15:43, 22/03/2021]We need urgent emergency Support to help Fire Victims.
My guess is tens of thousands of families’ homes have been burnt and destroyed and 2000 thousands schools, shops, community centers, mosques, help centers has burnt - gone to ashes. Many people dead and injured, children, old people, babies, and women, etc still i don’t know how many people have died or are injured. Who or what is responsible for this dreadful fire?
[17:15, 22/03/2021]You can see the most horrific and devastating fire in the world’s largest refugee camp not only destroyed homes and made the people destitute but also many people burnt alive.
[18:54, 22/03/2021] Please can your project make a GoFundMe for Fire victim Rohingya refugees. Or if u know any NGO please request them for help to Fire victim Rohingya refugees of Bangladesh. Please do something if u can for our innocent and helpless. We need to give emergency support to them. They are human beings. Children have lost their parents and are crying, searching everywhere for lost loved ones, walking alone in tears along main roads. They have no food, no place to sleep, no mosquito nets, no clothes, no home materials, nothing, they have nothing
