Fire Kills 3 in Market near Rohingya Camp in Bangladesh

COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH - A fire on Friday destroyed more than 20 shops in a makeshift market near a Rohingya refugee camp in southern Bangladesh, killing at least three people, police and witnesses said.

Local police chief Ahmed Sanjur Morshed said they recovered the bodies from the debris after it took firefighters several hours to bring the blaze under control. Several other people were injured. The fire broke out early Friday when residents of the sprawling Kutupalong camp for Myanmar's Rohingya refugees were asleep. Sayedul Mustafa, the owner of a shop, confirmed the dead were his staff.
